There are positives and negatives with finishing 3rd. The positives include playing the last game on Friday nigh which gives folks coming from work or coming up from southern Illinois a chance to get to the game, giving us a bigger crowd. The negatives include the quicker turnaround, with less rest due to playing the last game each day Friday and Saturday and having less rest than your opponents on Saturday and (hopefully) Sunday.
I just want to be on Bradley's side rather than Drake's.

When Drake is playing their best basketball like they are now, I think they're by far the best team in the MVC and can even make a run in the NCAA's. I'll probably put in a Drake bet but home court matters a lot. Bradley is expecting a huge crowd tomorrow so should be a great atmosphere. I think the Valley should be rooting for another Drake blowout to continue their hopes for an at-large.
What has to happen for us to fall to Thursday?
simple way is we lose and Belmont and ISU blue winWhat has to happen for us to fall to Thursday?
Born playing for UNI.
UNI is currently down 12 with 15 to go and can't throw it in the ocean from the beach
Here come the Panthers down 2 with 640 to go
Belmont wins 83-75
MoState leading ISUblue 34-25 at the half.
Indiana State will be the 5 seed, losing to Missouri State. Pretty bad collapse by them in the last 2 games.
ISUred up 10 with 9 minutes left
Valpo up 8 at Murray wuth 7 minutes left in the first half
Bradley up 4 early on Drake.
Not a good start for Drake. I'd much rather see Bradley on Saturday than Drake. Have to beat both either way though probably.
Drake cuts it to 3 with baskets from DeVries and Penn. A minute left in the half.
Bradley up 3 at the half. 37-34
DeVries gives Drake a 41-40 lead with 16:00 left
Bradley starting to pull away. Drake hasn't scored since they took the lead.
