Re: Up Next: Bradley

This is a must win obviously to avoid Thursday. Let's get the win and maybe a little help around the league!

I believe all the help we'll need is from the top 3 teams. If WSU, creighton, and msu all take of business, we will have the 4 seed. Of course we also have to take care of business. If we can't win these next two games then we deserve to play on Thursday.

This.

Losing at home to Bradley would be a blunder to say the least. We have a very good chance of getting our 4th consecutive season of at least 20 wins, which is an impressive feat, to say the least. Of course I've been thinking this since the non-conf season

[BCPanther]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

A win gets us our 9th consecutive 18 win season.

Prior to these 9, there were a total of 6 in the history of Panther Basketball.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

I have the league finishing like this

Team...................Conf
#19 Wichita State.16-2........26-4 @ISUr (W) vs. Drake (W)
Creighton.............14-4........25-5 vs. EU (W) @ Drake (W)
Missouri State......10-8........17-14 vs. ISUb (W) @EU (L)
Illinois State..........9-9........18-12 vs. WSU (L) @Bradley (W)
Drake...................9-9........16-14 vs. SIU (W) @WSU (L)
Evansville.............9-9.........15-14 @CU (L) vs. MSU (W)
Northern Iowa.......9-9.........19-12 vs. BU (W) @SIU (W)
Indiana State........7-11.......16-14 @MSU (L) vs. CU (L)
Southern Illinois.....5-13........8-22 @DU (L) vs. UNI (L)
Bradley................2-16........7-24 @UNI (L) vs. ISUr (L)

This will set seeds 1-3 and 8-9.

4-7 have this scenario:

Drake sweeps Evansville
Evansville sweeps UNI
UNI sweeps Drake
Illinois State splits with DU, EU, and UNI. This may already have been answered, but how would spots 4-7 be seeded?

Re: Up Next: Bradley

UNI
UE
DU
ILSU

Goes by non-con SOS

[Kyle]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

A two way tie is broken by head to head record. A 1-1 split is broken by SOS.

A three way or more tie is broken by a mini round robin. Any identical records within the mini round robin are broken by SOS.

Current SOS for the MVC is below.

WSU 29
UNI 30
Bradley 56
MSU 78
UE 181
CU 188
Drake 235
ISUred 298
ISUblue 300
SIU 316

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Let's keep up the SOS next year.

[Moose39]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Definitely. Does anyone see it finishing differently?

[BCPanther]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

I wouldn't be shocked to see Evansville beat Creighton, but the only effect that would have would be who wears purple on Friday.

[Purrrrrfect]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

SIU will be tough on the road. I hope we can take em, but we've struggled mightily there.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Carson T is reporting on twitter that Taylor Brown won't play.

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Carson T is reporting on twitter that Taylor Brown won't play.

Good news for us, hopefully he is back by Saturday for their game with Illinois State, although it probably won't matter.

They won't have their best player, we have an extra day day of rest, and we are at home. We should be able to take care of business but I'm not assuming anything anymore this year.

[Silent Earl]

Re: Up Next: Bradley

Good news - the ISU women play tonight. We have a fighting chance of getting our game on the radio in Dsm. Provided there isn't a boys/girls high school sectional/regional game that takes precedent.
