St. Louis Post writer says ISU "deserves a spot in NCAA tournament"

 
Hi DC, I see you are online this morning. Got a question for you. Do I have to make some changes on my own or will the site eventually catch up to daylight savings time on its own? I know in the past there were things that had to be done but I'm not sure I remember how to do it. Have a great day:)
 
Never mind, it looks like its correct to me now:) But when you're not logged in the time is wrong, but when you're logged in the time is right.
 
Thanks for noticing. It required a simple change on the board's administration panel. It should show the correct time now for both logged-on members, and for guests.
 
Illinois St. played like an NCAA caliber team this weekend, unfortunately I don"t believe that it will get them in, Creighton did not play like a team that deeserves to get in and they will have to hope that there are not a lot of upsets in conf. tournaments because they may be one of several teams in the last 4 in category.

o played like an NCAA caliber player rather than illinois state playing as a team. Take him away and they shot 25% from the field yesterday. A silly pass out of the paint when there was an easy two points there for the taking and a missed layup were the most obvious things that cost them the game.

I don't think they have any business in the big tournament and they aren't even being mentioned other than the team that might cost Creighton a bid.
 
What about O's two missed free throws...come on...it wasn't like O was perfect. Theoretically, if he makes those free throws...even just one..they win and are going to the NCAA. Hard to say who let who down (or whom).
 
That is right, the final factors are now out of anyone in the MVC's control.
It now depends on how many conference tournament upsets occur that award a team who would not have been deserving of an at-large bid.

ISU and Creighton fans are pulling for the likes of Memphis (RPI of 7) in the CUSA, Utah (10) or BYU (22) in the MWC, Butler (RPI of 18) in the Horizon, Siena (24) in the MAAC, Utah State (27) in the WAC, Gonzaga (35) in the WCC, George Mason (46) in the Colonial, to win their tournaments, and for no low-seeded teams to win any of the big power conference tournaments. It will all play out this week.

I have a hard time saying o let them down. I have just never thought they were that good of a "team" and I've been saying it since I saw them play in person here.
 
MVC Coaches (First 2 seasons)

MVC Coaches (First 2 seasons)

The following are the coaching records of the current MVC coaches in their first 2 years in the MVC. The records are for CONFERENCE GAMES only. (wouldn't want those non-conference schedules to make their records out to be more impressive than they really are. :lol:)

Lowery 31-10 (including 4-1 in the MVC tourney)

Jankovich 28-16 (including 4-2 in the MVC tourney)

Jacobsen 20-20 (including 2-2 in the MVC tourney)

McKenna 17-23 (including 2-2 in the MVC tourney)

Les 15-23 (including 0-2 in the MVC tourney)

Altman 13-24 (including 0-1 in the MVC tourney)

Marshall 14-27 (including 1-2 in the MVC tourney)

Simmons 11-27 (including 0-2 in the MVC tourney)

Martin and Phelps are in their first seasons.

Maybe. Jank was handed a team that went 6-12 the year before in conference games though.

Altman was handed a team that went 3-15 the year before he got there.

SIU was 17-1 in conference the year before Lowery got the job.

MO's last year you guys were 5-13 in the MVC play.

I guess that means they must deserve a spot.

ISU resume

vs. Top 50: 2-1

vs. Top 100: 7-6

RPI: 47

SOS: 105

Last 10: 5-5
 
In the WAC final it does not matter, because both team should get in regardless. St. Mary's has shown what type of team they are with a healthy Patty Mills. If you have not seen him play you should. He plays a lot like Tony Parker but with a better jump shot.

IMO ISU will not get in! CU should but I doubt it. We will be a 1 bid league. ISU and CU should blame their scheduling if they do not get in. They know that our conference overall is a bit weaker so they needed to go outside a bit of their comfort zone or win out to make a much better case. This may be the best thing for the MVC in the long run because there will be a re-emphasis on SOS.
