MVC Final- ISU vs. Drake

I think ISU is in at this point, but getting clowned out national TV isn't a good way to go into a week in which you'll be sitting on pins and needles.
 
Wow, ISU is getting slaughtered. After the Bradley loss, the tourney could not have made me any happier... SIU Loses, ISU loses....
 
Todays trouncing by Drake combined with barely winning over MO State on Friday would probably earn ISU a 14th seed at best but I think they'll definitely be in da big dance. A 24-9 record otta be good for at least 1 spot.

Fourteenth at best? That's a bit of a stretch.
 
Drake is in with a 4th seed, book it. Have the numbers for at least a 2nd or 3rd seed but the rankings have shown that the coaches slightly downgrade Drakes talent. We'll see though.

24-9 and a #14 seed??? Are you nuts?
 
Don't you have to have at least one quality win to make the tournament?

#14 seeds are for lower division conference champions that otherwise wouldn't make the tournament.
 
Drake has now done more in 1 year than we've done in the last 12. Congrats Bulldogs for showing it's not a job that takes forever to do!
 
I had ISU in at the start of the day, but their awful showing probably pushes them into the NIT. A week to wait around for all those big schools and conference tourney upsets to move by them.

Even if they did get in I think Jason's assessment of a 14 seed at best is off. They might grab a 14 seed, but they would definitely not be a 15 or 16. Bradley was thought to be the last at-large team in in 2006 and was a 13.

But BB, must we not insist on the same standards for Drake as the highly respected local press demands of Bradley?
They must not just do this in one lone season, and maybe not even in back to back years,
but it is encumbent upon them to repeat this kind of performance for several years in a row before we can admit they have done well.
After all, let's remain consistent and not expose an astronomical level of bias.
After BU had a Sweet Sixteen year, we were told to reign in our enthusiasm and see the larger picture, so likewise,
I think Drake fans should understand they have had only 2 winning seasons in the past two decades, so calm down and quit the celebrating!
Remember this comment aimed at us......
"such tournament runs include a degree of luck and get blown out of proportion.
But this level of quality should be sustained and even improved."

I'm not into semantics or what's been said in the past about what program. The fact of the matter is that we haven't won a conference title in 12 years and a conference tourney title in 20. I'm kind of tired of it.
