Other schools on the rise include Butler, Xavier, Southern Illinois and Drake
Drake? There is a difference between having a good year and being on the rise. Lets look at Drake over the last couple of years.
07-08: 25-4
06-07: 17-15
05-06: 12-19
04-05: 13-16
03-04: 12-16
Teams like Gonzaga, Nevada, Butler, and Xavier have been top programs in their conferences for the better part of the decade, Drake has not. The MVC has shown that it is a strong midmajor conference, Creighton and Southern Illinois have made a lot of noise since the turn of the century, Drake will just be a fad, like Bradley.
