    ESPN's Pat Forde's MVC tournament predictions.

    I copied and pasted this from his Forde Minutes column that comes out on Tuesdays.

    He's showing us some love here. I know that he was really impressed with us last year when we won the MVC tournament and wrote a great article after the Kansas win as well. One of my favorite sportswriters, and would be even if he didn't like and respect us.

    Missouri Valley (29). March 3-6 in St. Louis.
    Regular-season champ: Missouri State.
    Minutes tourney champ prediction: Wichita State.
    Storyline: The Bears won their first-ever regular-season championship, but the Shockers appear to have the easier path through Arch Madness. Wichita is 8-0 against the teams on its side of the bracket. If it reaches the final it doesn't want to see Missouri State, which beat Wichita twice -- but The Minutes suspects that Northern Iowa might take care of the Bears before then. If there is a UNI-Wichita rematch of last year's final, hide the women and children. It will be intense.
    Sagarin conference rank: 14th of 31.
    Last time league champ won an NCAA tourney game: Does the name Ali Farokhmanesh ring a bell? Northern Iowa, seeded ninth, rather memorably shot down No. 1 seed Kansas in the second round last year.

      WSU is the last team we want to see.

            If we make it the finals we will probably be seeing them. So I am hoping we make it to the finals.

                I don't know how he could make these predictions if he had actually seen us play in the last month. I hope he knows something we don't know.

                  The biggest compliment you can get in your program is "unearned" respect. I love the fact that he is showing us that kind of respect. It says tremendous things about our program in general. Also, don't count us out!! Go Panthers!!

                    And if UNI wins....

                    It will be 10x as sweet.

                      If we find our stroke from 3 pt range I think we've got a real chance.

                      We'll show up this weekend playing the type of Panther D that got us to the tourney last year. It hasn't been there the 2nd half of this season. It'll be there this weekend.

                      Some hot shooting and we'll be a tough out.

                          So if UNI pulls through and wins this thing, do Witchita and Missouri State get an at-large? I'd think Missouri State would but Witchita?

                              MVC is a one bid league for sure...but we have a chance. I honestly think we'll beat sCUm & once we get one win the Panther StL confidance can carry us.

                              LETS GET ON A ROLL BABY!
