Thanks for posting that...was wondering how we stood right now.

We have the tie breaker over bradley. We have a better net. So we woukd be 4 they would be 5.
Wow, look at the offense!, I think starting Rudy jumpstarted gaurds because they weren't ordered to force the ball into pippen on every possession, Like it or not it's a gaurds game in college basketball.
Seriously? Because a 20 ft. shot is higher percentage than a 5 ft. shot? Tell 1st place Loyola that - they go through Krutwig for good reason! Maybe when you have great guards (I'm thinking Milt Huggins/Wayne Abrams.) Half the games this year, our guards couldn't throw it in a lake.
When you have a 6' 10" center who can score, you utilize him, something Hinson forgets a lot of games. Using Pippen to set picks 23 ft from the basket while three other guys stand around is just dumb. You should be playing double post or high/low and setting picks to free your big guys for high percentage shots. They've done a better job of it lately.
If Fletcher and the rest of the gaurds aren't involved in the offense SIU is not going to win period!, Gaurds get 5 ' shots and layups also. Not saying shouldn't use pippen he is a good player.
Fletcher's a fwd IMHO! Our offense needs to run through him or Pippen usually. Our guards aren't great FT shooters either, as evidenced tonight. When one of them catches fire, it helps!

we're ahead of the Redturds? surprising
If we split with isu yes. We are about 40 points ahead.

We won't finish tied with ISU so it doesn't matter.
Things are going far too good . My guess is Lucy pulls the football away again Saturday
More calculations with all remaining scenarios (unless my math is wrong!) -
If we beat ISU, then we are the 4 seed regardless of other results on Saturday.
If we lose and Bradley and UNI win, then we are 7th.
If we lose and both BU and UNI lose, then we are the 5th seed.
If we lose, BU loses and UNI wins, then we are the 6th seed.
If we lose, UNI loses and BU wins, then we are the 6th seed
Bradley is at Loyola and UNI is at Indiana State.
Actually if we win and Missouri State loses we are the 3rd seed.

Good catch, thank you. I didn't look at scenarios of catching teams ahead of us.
Let's go Drake!!!

the 3 seed is a very difficult way to win the tournament. 8.30pm game and the have to turn around and play the next afternoon. 4/5 seed gives us the best chance.
