Congrats on the win. I'm a little disappointed in some of you though. You shouldn't be on the board but instead out and about celebrating. Lord knows the last two years I was out until bar time.

Let me add my congratulations. It's amazing what you guys have done this year. Who would have thought after starting the season 3-5 that you would come together under your fantastic coach to go 20-4 the rest of the way and punch a ticket to the NCAA tournament? I expect you guys will be in the top half of the league for quite some time under Brownell. He's done an amazing job.

Thanks rambler63. Boy do I wish you guys would have beaten UIC in your last regular season game because I think you might have been able to grab and NIT bid.
If the HL can regularly get 3 post season bids it would really help all the HL teams with recruiting which in turn would help us grow as a conference.

This is almost the same argument I've been trying to make to some of my fellow Milwaukee fans. You should always cheer for the other teams in the League when they are playing teams ouside the League. Especially at this time of year or on weekends like Bracketbusters weekend. If the League teams do well in those games, it simply makes us look better in the eyes of the "talking heads" on the national stage. Eventually we'll start gaining more respect and you would hope a couple of At-Large bids every year in the tournament. A stonger League means more national exposure, more fans in the seats, better players for your program, and more teams in post season play. The Horizon League is never going to mentioned with the likes of the Big Ten or Big East, we all know that. But we can get up to the same status as the MVC.

I ALWAYS root for HL teams when they are playing a non conference game. If the HL can get into the top 10 in the RPI's we can then start to put multiple teams in the dance which makes recruiting easier for ALL the HL teams.
I think us moving ahead of the CAA was a big step for the league this year. We need to keep climbing as a league and stop scheduling non D1 schools. In the eyes of the NIT Loyola only has 19 wins because they played 2 non D1 schools.
I hope all the HL teams try and schedule home and home with other mid major conferences. We should all look at games with the MVC, MAC, CAA, C-USA, & A-10.
