MVC Conference Games

Re: MVC Conference Games

lets be stupid for a second...if we finish second in the conference at 20-10, 11-5 and win two in STL...are we on the bubble?

NO. Aside from at ISU on Saturday and the home dates with WSU and CU, there are no quality wins left on the schedule since we most likely won't be in line for a top Bracketbuster that gets announced soon. Our rpi will only climb into the 50's, maybe 40's even with a prolonged winning streak. We may have no bad losses, but we are still only 1-8 against the top 100 RPI (1-9 if Evansville creeps back in) and can only get to 4-8/5-9. We may get a mention, but we will be quickly tossed aside.

3 in St. Louis is our NCAA chances at this point, the dual home losses killed anything we may have had and we needed one of the roadies at WSU or CU since we didn't get the non-conference marquee win(s) we needed.

Indiana State defeated #13/16 Creighton 76-57. No court rushing from the students. McDermott didn't even get into double figures. At least to me, all very startling facts.

I don't believe the month makes any difference. They obviously played awesome defense against Dougie fresh

Re: MVC Conference Games

Ideal situation for STL:
1. Indiana State
2. Creighton
3. Wichita State
4. UNI
5. Evansville

I would love to play Evansville and Indiana State and have CU and WSU on the other side of the bracket together

We're 2-12 combined since 02/23/2010 against Evansville and Indiana State.

Since that same date we're 5-8 combined against Creighton and Wichita State.

Re: MVC Conference Games

Watching CU and WSU choke down the stretch is making me very happy.

Re: MVC Conference Games

I still have confidence that the MVC gets two teams in. 99% of the country might view us as a 2nd tier, all-bark no-bite conference but thankfully 99% of the country doesn't get a say in who plays in March. The dream of 3 is long gone now we get to see if Wichita pisses it away or Indiana St. can sweep in and steal the show. CU is unfortunately a lock unless that February swoon REALLY hits them

Re: MVC Conference Games

Watching CU and WSU choke is pissing me off as it serves as a reminder of the Indiana swing. Had we won those two games, we'd be tied with WSU sitting in second. Some thought those games were gonna be huge. A little over a week later and we've proved they were right.

Then Joe Lunardi is dreaming because he had Indiana state in the tourney before tonights win.

Re: MVC Conference Games

We will look back on this season and think what could have been.

I just don't know how it's going to work. I think each of them has 1 loss left on the schedule, and one or two of them has multiple losses left. If they could all be perfect from here on out then yeah, but that won't happen. I just see someone getting the shaft since the committee will always take a mediocre/average Power-6 team than a good and deserving mid-major team. ISU and WSU have given them quite a few losses to point to as "that's the straw that broke the camels back". Not good

Re: MVC Conference Games

It makes me want to do very bad things when I think about how close we are to being in 1st or 2nd place. The Ind St/Evansville games at home and on the road...those are the one's that absolutely crush us. A bad call here, a missed FT there....wow...
