After tonight's game, each MVC team will participate in the BracketBusters games this weekend, then play 2 more conference games before the MVC tournament. Wichita State can clinch a share of the MVC regular season championship with a win at home tonight against Missouri State. Northern Iowa plays at Evansville where the winner will move into a tie for 4th place. UNI with their RPI of 53 needs a win to keep their NIT hopes alive.

I am going to tape this one & watch later --

Northwestern @ Indiana...
Northwestern is 5-1 against Indiana over the past few years...

Indiana (7-6 in Big Ten), some say, is already a lock for the NCAA but are they??
They do have HUGE wins at home over Kentucky & Ohio State but...
they have lost 5 of their last nine, they have lost to a couple bottom dwellers (Nebraska, Penn State), and are just TWO losses from being down in 10th place in the Big Ten.

Northwestern (5-7 in Big Ten) though NEEDS this game desperately as their NCAA chances are slipping away..
They are 5-8 since Christmas, and have a couple really bad losses (23 pt loss at Minny), and really have to start beating teams on the road...

Both are good shooting teams and both teams have a couple players who almost landed at Bradley (Abell, Roth, Crawford, Fruendt, Cobb)

This might be a stretch, but if UNI finishes 10-8 by winning out, could they be a bubble team? Possible, but too many bad losses right now.

MSU actually has a better shot at the bubble. Beating the Shockers tonight gives the Bears road wins against the top 2 teams in the Valley and a 10-6 Valley record. That should give them at least a look by the selection committee.

I agree. How good could they possibly be with a loss to Bradley on their record? I'm not terribly impressed with Drake either.
