I think that's the thing that impresses me most about Valley teams - they usually do the little things you have to do to win. So it's surprising to see them not do that.
The funny thing: The fluke win against SMS has prompted all sorts of "SLU is great!" talk up here. I'm looking forward to them shutting up after UNC pounds SLU into dog meat tomorrow...
Question for you Valley fans: The conference seems awfully senior-heavy. SIU, Creighton and Wichita State have proven they can sustain success. What about the rest of the schools (UNI, that school in Springfield, etc)? Do they have players in place to step in? I think the biggest advantage the Valley has is that it recruits 4-year players, and that experience often is enough to overcome the superior athletic talent of BCS conference teams...

Hinson is a good recruiter but is questionable as a bench coach. They've got some solid talent on the bench so I think they'll be good next season too. I've heard that Hinson is not content with his contract and is looking to leave after this season. Wouldn't break my heart to see him go.
