Wednesday will be tough for our Braves. Watching Alize Johnson in his last game... it will be a real challenge to slow him down, and I could foresee some foul trouble for our bigs. We are a much better team on both ends when Donte Thomas stays in the game, and Johnson may prove a threat to his foul count if he draws that assignment.

However, MSU is on short turnaround and has a shallow rotation, so maybe we can beat them in that regard... or get Johnson in foul trouble proactively perhaps.

Johnson is the key for them (and us) on Wed.

we have games against Missouri State & Drake - would be nice to win them both then hope it helps our RPI enough to still get 6th place

...but more realistically, the only question that might be relevant is whether we play Thursday March 2 at 6pm or 8:30pm...

Yes, I would like to be hopeful, but I think the best we do is move to the top spot of the bottom.

Finish strong

I really like the idea of BU finishing the regular season on a 3 game win streak!

Not looking at the Tourney, but, next season, and, recruiting...

Rotate bodies on MSU's Johnson.... Burn fouls with BU back-ups

Change scheme to double teaming (fronting him), just fronting him, guarding him from behind... Try to keep ball out of his hands.

Keeps BU's Thomas in the game longer.

I'd put JoJo on Johnson. Depending on who he's guarding I'd attack him early , if he stays out of foul trouble then go away from him and hope he gives up.

Let's play our best hoops of the season and Win our last two home games of the year. Probably lose to Drake .Then Win Thursday , I hope to avoid Evansville it's hard to sweep 3 games from anyone. Win Friday and we slip our foot in the slipper and start thinking about dancing. How bout that?

I think best case for in St Louis is , ISU B then RED then UNI then SIU

I'm ready for what college hoops is all about end of feb and March .

Wichita State @ Missouri State 11 a.m.
Indiana State @ Evansville Noon
Illinois State @ UNI 1 p.m.
Bradley @ Drake 1 p.m.
Loyola @ Southern Illinois 7 p.m......

If we win at Drake and Wichita wins at Missouri State - we still have a decent chance to finish 6th and bypass Thursday!!
...although it is doubtful since losing to Wichita may not drop Missouri State's RPI -
Even talking about this possibility is almost a nostalgic feeling!!!

It is actually a bit of a long shot, but possible nonetheless-
