I really think that Luther is the real deal this year. I know they have to go out and prove it to everyone before anyone else starts to believe because they have been soo bad in the past. I know its tough for teams that perennially lose to become even a good team in one year but....Luther returned every major contributor from a team that beat Loras in the opening round of tourney action last year as a 6 seed....they have been winning without Branter....Lappe has returned...Lappe and Rump are both averaging around 17 points a game...I think everyone is going to see  a different Luther squad this year....5-3 heading into christmas...but they still have a lot to prove to everyone before anyone starts to take them seriously...
