1 MVC game Friday 2/20

Illinois State got off to such a bad start that they just could not get over the hump, this loss means they have to win the conf. tour. or get no bid to the big dance once again, I think they beat Niagra at home.
 
I disagree that this was a big game for ISU. Their next two games are the big ones as they are battling for the conference title. ISU played like that's what they were thinking too. They weren't getting an at-large no matter what happened tonight, so it really didn't matter. Expect to see a much better ISU team Tuesday night in Normal.

OMG...I heard the first few minutes then went to dinner then a couple high school games, so I am just now seeing the final score.
This is really a bummer........and expect a few "overrated" columns written by the talking heads about the Valley.

Well the Valley may not be overrated, but ISU definately is! When we complain about BCS schools sneaking into the NCAA Tournament with a 20-10 record but with no quality non-conference wins, well, expect the same complaining to happen to an ISU team with one of the worse non-conference schedules I have ever seen!

Yes they do have a great win against Creighton and two decent wins over Evansville, but they needed this game against a Niagara team that had a 69 RPI coming into tonight. Now they will need to sweep UNI and Creighton to win the Valley which might give them two wins which could at least give the committee a reason to give them a look, but this loss tonight hurt.
 
ISU had a 0.001% chance of an at large bid.

That decreased by 0.00099% tonight. :)



I'm really worried about tomorrow. These games do NOT match up well for the Valley. Looking at each independent game, I gave 4-6 for the Valley.

That is what I was thinking. The best way to win the title on Sunday in St. Louis and get the automatic bid is through the one seed.

Who though that scheduling a Friday night game after ISU played on Wednesday night was a good idea? Because of traveling, they basically had no preparation time for an unknown opponent.
 
King "O" Looked like King '0.' If this is the 3rd. place team in The valley, The Valley is really down this year!
"Travel" "Not ia big game for them" BS. National TV and representing The Valley. I am sure they wanted it, they are just not very good.
If Niagara the 2nd place team in the MEAC dominates ISU, I do not even want to see what Sienna, the 1st. place team does to a sliding Northern Iowa team today.It could be ugly!

I said they might get a look if they win their last two regular season games and finish first in the Valley. I did not say they would get in though. :)

Grassman, I had to take a few minutes off to wipe up the Coke that spewed forth out of my nose as I laughed when I read your post...

sure enough... "King 0" takes on a NEW meaning!
