Boy do i miss this part of sportscenter...its been like 5-6 years i swear.
Anywho...DID YOU KNOW!?....that UNI can lose Saturday to SIU and still be potentially playoff bound!
Here is why:
It all factors in if WKU beats YSU. If that happens both of them would finish at 5-2 in the conference. If you UNI were to lose to SIU...we would be 4-2 but would have to beat ISU on the 18th. Which would 1. make us conference champs by outbid of beating the other 3 for the tiebreak and 2. be risky anyway.
Now I know everyone will just say, win out and not worry bout it, but I'm just giving a thoughtful insight on what if we don't win saturday.
Also if we win saturday and WKU wins saturday, we automatically clinch at least 2nd place in the conference no matter how we finish against ISU because of the tiebreak against YSU and WKU. In fact, if We win ISU will still get 2nd for beating WKU and WKU (hopefully beating YSU) and YSU beating ISU.
So right now, ISU and UNI have the ship in their corner.
Now if YSU wins AT WKU, then yes, we need to win out.
I don't know if its a good thing or bad thing, but YSU and WKU kickoff an hour after UNI-SIU do, hopefully they don't announce any scores of the WKU-YSU game during our game or until the game is in hand for us so our guys dont get their heads too high again like when they heard ISU lost to YSU.
so with that, GO HILLTOPPERS and GO PANTHERS!
