Think I have this right -
SIU, UIC, MSU, ISU, Eville all tie for 5th if
SIU wins, Eville beats the Redturds, Belmont beats Murray, Valpo beats UIC.
Could happen!
Remember AJ Greene of UNI? Undrafted but playing for the Milwaukee Bucks. Just nailed a couple of threes and ranks in the top 15 gunners in the NBA.

In general Southern is not in good shape in many tiebreaker scenarios, which is why the 8-9 game in St. Louis (and then Drake at noon Friday if they survive Thursday) looks like the likely scenario. Still holding out a bit of hope they can get up to 7 with a win over Indiana State and a Valpo win at UIC.
Very frustrating to think that just winning 1-2 of the three previous home games where they blew leads (especially the Valpo and Murray games) would have set them up much better in St. Louis.
Winning at Indiana state will not be easy. However, this team certainly seems to play better on the road than at home, so we shall see. Valpo showed they can win on the road as well when defeating our Dawgs. Maybe they can do the same at UIC. Win, and at least you have 2 game win streak heading into The Lou.
GO DAWGS!!!

If we end up in a tiebreaker, we want UIC in it and we don’t want Murray in it because of head to head results. If Murray and SIU win Sunday, and UIC loses, we should be in a good spot tiebreaker wise.

Yep, I accidentally superimposed Bradley and UNI on Friday, otherwise it is the same. Only question mark would be if Indiana State can make up the 23 spot NET deficit with us after todays beat down. If so we will be the 9 seed and the away team Thursday at noon against the trees.This is how it should end up after NET rankings in the morning:

If this game were in Carbondale, I’d be worried. But I doubt we drop that much being on the road.
Missouri State goes out sad with a blowout loss at Illinois State. Drake will likely be pulling for Belmont (if they beat SIU), Chase Walker will give them problems.
Murray State blows out Evansville
RedTurds getting DEMOLISHED by Belmont so far... 33-12 here with 6 minutes left in the first half.
Belmont flipped their entire roster basically and are 22-10 and playing on Saturday. Alexander is a hell of a coach
If Belmont can figure out how to be competent on defense, this team can make some noise.

I believe he will attract some high-major interest, as will McCollum and Wardle.
