Its a decent rank, but seeing Bradley tied with us annoys me to no end, seeing as how UIC beat them during the regular season, and they were gifted an opening round home game against a cupcake (DePaul). And number 9 is Creighton? Geez, I thought UIC beat them, too.
Nitpicking aside, congratulations players and coaches! This is a great accomplishment both for the program and for the university.
