If the miracle of BU getting the 3rd place spot alone, what time do we play Friday in St Louis?

I do believe that would be the dreaded 3-6 8:30 matchup where a tourney winner has never come from. Apologies if I'm mistaken.

It may be the dreaded time slot, but at least I'd be able to go, I gotta work Friday until 5pm. Thanks everybody for the replies and posting the time.

Creighton in 2005 came from the 3 seed. They beat ISU, WSU and SMS for the crown.

I credit Benson for doing the math.

Man if we get 3rd alone it would be soooo much easier to make it to the game, and it would look good for our at-large chances!!!

Well, ISU's doing part of their job, winning so far at Creighton with about 3 minutes left.

The game is AT ISU, but the birds are killing CU...up 10

I told you guys not to sleep on the Redbirds.

Creighton had a 35-22 lead with 20 seconds left in the first half. The 'Birds ended the game on a 43-20 run. Eldridge had 18 in the second half to the Jays 20.

They couldn't cover him in a phone booth tonight. 46 points in 2 games against the Jays I'd say Osiris has Altman's vote for FOY.

The Birds dominated the second half. Totally dominated. A beautiful thing indeed.

Re: ISU

"ISU could still avoid first day of MVC tournament"...
NORMAL ???‚¬??? OK, it won???‚¬?„?t be easy and is perhaps unlikely. But Illinois State
could still avoid the first day of the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball Tournament
on March 1 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
The Redbirds (14-14 overall, 5-11 Valley) would earn the No. 6 seed for the tourney,
and a first-round bye, by the following happening this week:
-- ISU defeats Creighton at 7:05 tonight at Redbird Arena;
-- Bradley beats Northern Iowa at Peoria tonight;
-- ISU downs Northern Iowa Saturday at Cedar Falls;
-- The winner of Wednesday???‚¬?„?s Drake-Evansville game loses Saturday.
Evansville is at Southern Illinois, while Drake is at Missouri State."

So there is a silver lining in the BU loss last night!
It completely eliminates any possible chance for ISU to avoid Thursday night!
Funny how the Redbirds want to always blame BU for all their woes.

Please. Those are tongue-in-cheek jests. I am pretty sure you are joking here, but if not......

Everyone on RBF knew it was a longshot and we needed help to get to the 6th spot.

We needed help from our arch enemy and didn't get it. Just some good natured jesting. It's far from serious.

I have no anti-ISU issues, but one other silver lining from last night, Wisconsin lost!
