Mark my words, SIU will be in the tournament. I predict that they will win out until the title game in St. Louis. Then, they'll either snag the auto bid with a win or they'll receive the THIRD MVC BID due to their 20+ wins, low 30's RPI, low teen's SOS, 2nd place conference finish, and strong overall finish. In a perfect MVC scenario, the winner of the 4-5 game beats SIU (or ISU for that matter) on Sunday. That gives us a legitimate shot at 3 bids. I think SIU has the inside track right now due to their health and experience. It's a very weak bubble this year, and I think the MVC could very well be the surprise of Selection Sunday.

I like what you are saying.

Bradley defeats SIU on Sunday. They both get in along with Drake.

I'm really hoping BU can win and the home teams not named Creighton carry Saturday.

I'd like anybody from the top half of the bracket on Sunday after SIU, ISU, CU having beat up on each other to get there.

But I think Altman will destroy us. Not necessarily to get us back for a couple weeks ago, but he'll be ****************ed if McKenna gets a better seed in his first year than he does.

I also think isu will be in with DU......but there is still a chance for another team to win the tourney and make it!

Well, maybe he can't get p-ssed unless we beat them again. Then Dana can make another miracle run as the #6 and get his final shot at redemption against us on Sunday.

What would you fear more - BU-CU III on Friday or Sunday? I don't have an answer.

I completely agree! Would be great to have those three on the other side of the bracket!

This bracket generally makes sense. The TAS seal of approval.
