I would love for Ind. St. to pull a big upset on the road tonight too. We could have 5 teams at 7-10 after tomorrow night, with 3 of them going to the play-in game. What a crazy weekend finish that would be.
 
The dream scenario (Version 5.0)

1. UNI
2. CU (loses tiebreaker)
3. ISU
4. BU
5. Drake
6. WSU
7. Evansville
8. InSU
9. SIU
10. MSU

After Drake it doesn't really matter who finishes where to me. I just don't want to play the Shockers, and I don't want to be on the same side as CU.

Play Drake on Saturday, February 28th. Have 6 days to prep to play them again on Friday March 6th. That would be great/weird. Almost as weird as playing Evansville 3 times in a short span would be. And thats why I think it'll be WSU...
 
I also think we'll be playing Wichita State on Friday afternoon and would love to see Northern Iowa win the conference, putting Creighton and illinois state on the other side of the bracket. However, this is how I think things will end up.....

1. Creighton
2. Northern Iowa
3. illinois state
4. Bradley
5. Wichita State
6. Evansville
7. Drake
8. Indiana State
9. Southern Illinois
10. Missouri State
 
The Pantagraph is reporting students camped out all night for tickets.


Redbirds hope for big Senior Night crowd against co-leader UNI
When Tim Jankovich got to work on Monday morning, he quickly ran from his car to Redbird Arena to escape the cold. OK, it was probably a jog

Whatever, Illinois State??™s basketball coach did see a sight that warmed him up.

???A number of students were camping out (for tickets),??? he said. ???That??™s awesome. They??™re tougher than I am.???

Halftime Scores

21 - Creighton
32 - Missouri State

29 - Northern Iowa
28 - illinois state

35 - Indiana State
35 - Missouri State

So far, so good! Would be really nice if Creighton lost AND Northern Iowa won!
 
I know we oughta root for Bradley's best interests, but I'm thinking national reputation and at-large bids.

gogogo Creighton. They need that 1 seed.
 
Indiana State was 10 points down at Wichita and made that up to tie 35-35 at halftime.

Osiris Eldridge is scoreless with 1 rebound for ISU. Sampay leads ISU with 11 points and 6 rebounds.
Koch and Eglseder both have 9 points for UNI as they lead 29-28 at halftime.

Creighton shooting poorly and down 11 at the half at MSU.
 
If I knew that UNI was going to win in Normal, then I would want CU to come back. But BU's best chance to make it to Sunday is with Creighton and ISU on the opposite side of the bracket. So with that in mind, a big part of me wants MSU to get their 20th straight win on Senior Night.
 
So if UNI wins and Creighton loses... does that mean UNI cements the #1 seed? Because even if UNI loses their finale, and Creighton wins theirs... that leaves them back to being "tied" which then UNI wins? Or does Creighton win their tie breaker or the #1 seed?

I believe UNI wins the tiebreaker with CU in any scenario, but I am not 100% sure.

Me too...but we gotta make the semis first. Being down potentially a 3rd starter makes that a very unlikely scenario.

I'm not willing to give up on DD before we know he's out. Much less am I willing to give up on us winning a game with DD out. We have some depth at his position. CR will pick up more minutes, and this leaves some more time for DN, too. And maybe some bigger lineups to provide relief. Think: SM, CR, TB, TW, DC...

Because DC WILL BE ON FIRE! Book it.
