Murky State is in 10th place this morning. Gosh, I remember the giddiness we all felt when they were added to the conference. 

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Prohm's seat should be getting very warm. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

 

Murray board seemed pretty confident that anything other than a top four finish had Prohm out the door. Unfortunate for Brendan, going to have to go job hunting for a second year in a row.

I think we really wanted Bradley to beat Belmont last night. If that had happened we'd be a game out of fourth along with several other teams. Unfortunately, Belmont has a pretty easy schedule for the remainder of the season. It may be a long shot, but 4th place and a Thursday bye would be pretty great!

They’ll still be a good addition in the long-run.  They have good support and are extremely competitive in NIL.  They’re gonna need to move on from Prohm though, this team is way too talented to be this bad.

 

how much have they spent,or do they have to spend, in NIL? Is there an online source for that information?

I understand the theory.  but I think I can speak for barkeep when I say this is simply not possible.

I think it's along the same odds of Jim Carrey getting the girl in Dumb and Dumber. "So you're sayin there's a chance!"

That's funny; I used the Carrey quote when we were 5-11 and evaluating the chances of finishing with a non-losing season. Now, it actually seems possible. SIU would have to continue to win on the road, start winning at home and pull a few upsets, but it's not out of the question. Agree that finishing No. 4 in the Valley is the longest of long shots, but the fact we're even able to speculate about it now after the 0-5 conference start is nothing short of remarkable.

UNI comes back to beat ISU after the Turds led by as much as 14.  SIU is tied for 5th place

Great day for SIU. IL State loses, UIC obviously loses, Indiana State loses. Hopefully Bradley beats Evansville to get us some separation there as well.

If we end up tied with Illinois State & UIC, that 2nd game against the Redbirds would be big.  Going 3-1 against those 2 teams would get you the tiebreaker for 5th

Six games left for Southern:

Road: Bradley, Murray, Indiana State

Home: Belmont, Valpo, Illinois State

Probably need to go at least 3-3 to finish upper half, maybe 4-2. That’ll require sustained good play.

Personally I’d settle for anything that isn’t playing at noon (8-9 game) Thursday in STL.

Drake about to get a nice road win at ISU.

With five games left in the regular season, SIU, ISU, Murray and UIC are tied for the 5th through 8th spots at 7-8. Indiana State and Evansville are one game back.

The Dawgs could get within one game of 4th place with a win over Belmont on Saturday but the Bruins have a pretty soft schedule the rest of the way and would probably win a tiebreaker over Southern so a bye is very unlikely regardless.

At this point, I just want a 5-7 seed. Don’t get that noon game on Thursday. The bottom bracket is preferred to avoid Drake. Hope Drake wins out regular season to get a good shot at a 2 bid Valley.
