This should be a great game and I think both of these teams are better then some of the at large teams that got bids into the NCAA Tour.

After maybe playing their worst 16 1/2 minutes of offense this season, 10 turnovers and shooting near 40%, ISU Blur made 4 of their last 5 shots and held Seton Hall scoreless to end the half in an 11-0 run and tie the game at 39.

Indiana State shooting well, but the turnovers have hurt them.

Sycamores down 3 right now. Conwell has picked a bad night to be 0-7 so far.

[BUSongwriter]

I think the announcers have said "Big East" 20 times and "Missouri Valley" once.

Does anyone know what the best Syc message board is?

[Da Coach]

A late 8-0 run, including back-to-back threes by Conwell (he's now 1-8 from three) and Swope, has put Indiana State up 77-70 with 2:54 left in the game.

[Da Coach]

After that 8-0 run by Indiana State, Seton Hall has scored 9 straight points to take a 79-77 lead. Indiana State has possession with 8 seconds left in the game.

Tough break. Indiana State had a couple chances, but failed to score and Seton Hall wins the NIT 79-77 over the Sycamores - https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...meId/401641124

Great game…ISU represented the Valley well; bummer it ended the way it did

[Stryker]

Looked like Indiana State was fouled about three times on the last possession with no call...pretty hard one to swallow for their fans I would imagine.

Minimum one foul there at the end, but the refs swallowed their whistles

Great Run!!MVC!!

Man it's too bad Conwell didn't see Kent under the basket all alone at the end. Probably had time to get the dunk in or even a layup.

Thought ISU Blue shot the ball way too quick in the last 3 1/2 minutes of the game. They should have been trying to take as much time off the shot clock as possible with a 7 point lead. Credit to Seton Hall for making the tough shots down the stretch. Thought on their with under :50 to go Kent panicked after getting an offensive board and forced up a shot that hit nothing but air and leading to a great drive and finish by Dre Davis to put them up 2. Thought ISU waited to call a timeout with 8 seconds to go then Swope forced up both shots he got and somehow got a 3rd chance to win it but Conwell, as he was most of the night, was short on his shot, ending his night 1-9 from 3. There was some amazing passing from both teams in this game and both teams played their butts off. Both should have made the NCAA tournament.
