Who do we want to win? Would a win by either benefit us more than the other?

I will say this...........the league sure looks good with the 22000+ fans and a pretty entertaining game to watch....with most the country watching the Valley will just keep getting more respect...and better recruits!

I would like to see SIU win just so the Valley could field a team with a potential number 2 seed. That would be great for a potential Elite Eight run (or dare I say Final Four run) for SIU.

It doesn't look good now though as SIU is down 61-53 at the under 4 minute time out. Still a 4 seed looks good, and that cans still lead to a long run by SIU. I'd say Creighton might work there way up to a 6 or 7 seed with a conference championship on their resume.

I'm here watching an exciting SIU/CU game and our channel cuts away at the most exciting time to break into the BEGINNING of the Duke/Carolina game. WTF?!

Creighton knocks off SIU.

This will probably drop SIU to a 5 seed. I think a 4 is too optimistic, considering the history the NCAA has with MVC teams. They usually get seeds a couple slots lower than realistic.

CU wins................

Well, maybe the fact that your location shows NC is the reason they cut away!

I still think they can get a 4, but regardless, they still have a great chance at a Sweet Sixteen run. And now so does Creighton, as I think a 6 or 7 seed at the worse will be what they earn.

Now if only Bradley can get that 13 seed....!

A deadly draw is gonna be Winthrop and you can just about lock it in as a 1st round matchup. The committee (and Littlepage) want to try to minimize opportunities for strong non-bcs teams to get the sweet 16 and beyond.... so what better than to just match them up.

Now would it have been better if SIU won to make BU's close loss more impressive??
