N. Iowa/Wichita St. in-game thread.

I think UNI gets a 7. Almost as bad as the 8/9 game, you still get one of the top seeds in round 2.

I think Illinois gets ISU in Round 1 of the NIT.

Agree BB, JD and I talked about this earlier. Thought they played their way back to a 7 today. A loss probably would have meant a 10-12 seed.

UNI was very impressive this weekend. I don't remember them using their bench as much as they did this weekend but they didn't lose much when they came in. It's been a long time since any team in the MO Valley torunament played as well for 3 games. I think UNI will be anywhere from a 7 to 9 seed. That's just the reality of being in the Mo Valley. As of 3-5 ESPN had them projected to be a 9 seed. WSU and ISU Red should be in the NIT along with Illinois unless they beat Wisconsin in the Big 10 tournament. I would think because of how many people go to their home games that CU and BU will get into one of the other tournaments unless they are not interested.

here's a blog that lists a few teams that Duke might want to avoid catching the in the NCAA Tourney...
one of the teams listed is UNI...although I suspect Duke would handle them...
