"ISU could still avoid first day of MVC tournament"...
NORMAL ???‚¬??? OK, it won???‚¬?„?t be easy and is perhaps unlikely. But Illinois State
could still avoid the first day of the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball Tournament
on March 1 at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis.
The Redbirds (14-14 overall, 5-11 Valley) would earn the No. 6 seed for the tourney,
and a first-round bye, by the following happening this week:
-- ISU defeats Creighton at 7:05 tonight at Redbird Arena;
-- Bradley beats Northern Iowa at Peoria tonight;
-- ISU downs Northern Iowa Saturday at Cedar Falls;
-- The winner of Wednesday???‚¬?„?s Drake-Evansville game loses Saturday.
Evansville is at Southern Illinois, while Drake is at Missouri State."
