Absolutely got hosed/snubbed by NCAA last season.is Valpo. They've had a good non-conference with only losing to Kentucky and at Oregon. Spanked Indiana State tonight and Alec Peters is a stud. Not sure they are a top 25 team but I wouldn't put an NCAA tournament win past them this season.
Don't forget about Evansville either. They got snubbed by the committee as well last season. Might be able to make a run in the conference and their conference tourney to get a bid. Could be a banner year for Indiana college basketball...Purdue, IU, Valpo, Butler, ND, and maybe throw in Evansville and IPFW...7 teams in the tourney would be an incredible year.That would be awesome. Purdue, Butler, IU, Valpo, ND in the Tourney. That might cause some kids to stick around here more and come here more from other states. FYI - and I know this will get ugly... But I really like how we are getting quality in-state kids and quality kids from out of the state. Yes, we did not get most of the kids we wanted but only two or three schools in the country get that.
Would be even better if somehow IU didn't make itDon't forget about Evansville either. They got snubbed by the committee as well last season.

I think Fort Wayne & ISU both have a great chance at getting in this year also.That would be awesome. Purdue, Butler, IU, Valpo, ND in the Tourney.
