Wednesday at 7pm

Loyola fans are saying it’s at Carver Arena
but don’t know if this is confirmed - seems logical, tho

Am I glad I was wrong about getting a bid. We will be there Wednesday night! Maybe the NCAA threw the Valley two bones to make up for snubbing us in the big dance.

2 Common opponents. They beat Duquesne 72-67 while we lost to them 69-67. UIC beat Loyola 72-67 while we kicked them 3 times. Their 3 best players are 6' 5" guard Desmond Watson who leads them in scoring at 12.9 and rebounding in 4.6, 6' 6" forward Philip Austin who averages 12.8 and 4.6 and 6' 0" point guard Braden Norris who leads them with 5 assists a game. They have 9 guys who average 15+ minutes a game and as a team score 73 points a game, shoot 45% overall, 36% from 3, get about 37 rebounds a game and shoot 68% from the FT line. They had won 10 of their last 11 games until their A10 quarterfinal double OT loss to St. Bonaventure. A very winnable game. Looking forward to watching at least 1 more game!

Being a #3 and getting a home game against a former MVC rival. Fantastic!. If we win it’s possibly a match up with another former Valley foe in Cincinnati!
