WSU 64 - MSU 67

[Bravesfan]

Anyone find it funny that of the teams left, we've only beaten #1 SIU?

Heh.

I was having a discussion about this with a friend of mine (purdue grad) the other day. We were discussing the merits of the B10 bubble teams vs. the Valley bubble teams. He made the point that Indiana and Mich St. both have a "signature win" over Wisconsin. So why isn't Bradley's win over #5 RPI SIU considered a signature win?

You don't have to answer that question. I think we all know the reasons why.

Bradley does have a 'signature' win over SIU. But that win alone won't put BU in the dance.

Maybe not, but it still should be considered a signature win. Most media members (Digger and Packer included) do consider it a signature win. But many casual fans I don't think still grasp just how good SIU and the Valley are. That respect will go up in time.

So Wichita isn't going to get an NCAA bid, and of course neither is UNI.

So that means BU now has the 2nd longest streak of consecutive NCAA bids, still running among Valley members,
and they hope to extend that by beating SIU Saturday then winning Sunday.

Well we also have a "signature" loss to Michigan State. By 28 pts...
