Re: Up Next: Indiana State

I don't think this is the last time we see Indiana State. I look to them as a Saturday match up in St. Louis for the 2/3 game. They will be a tough out. We have been on cruise control with wins lately. I don't think we get this one. Hope i'm wrong. A loss puts them one game out of second place too...

Outside of Wichita, this is easily our toughest game left on the schedule. When I saw them play here a couple weeks ago, I chalked this game up as a probable loss. They are a very good team, and they ALWAYS play us tough.

Pulling out a W here would be HUGE.

Really wish this was Wednesday rather than Tuesday, an extra day would have been really nice.

2/3 game on Saturday?!?!? Right now we should be talking 1/4 game on Saturday!

I'm with jeg. Smart money would be on the 2 seed.

I just don't see WSU dropping another game, unless we get them in Wichita.

We have the tie-breaker right now, so the current conversation should be 1/4.

Realistically, here are the reasons why it is unlikely we will get the 1-seed:

#1 - Home court is an advantage; therefore, WSU has the advantage on Feb. 28th (they're not gonna shoot 30% and we're not gonna shoot 60%)

#2 - WSU and UNI control their own destiny. Whichever team wins out gets the 1 seed. Refer to #1 above to see why WSU has the advantage.

#3 - As the league tiebreaker is non-con SOS (WSU = 10th; UNI = 78th), WSU can lose a game between now and Feb 28th, but if they win against us on Feb 28th they'll still win the conference even if Feb 28th is our only loss between now and the end of the season.

The cards are stacked against us, but if we take care of our own business then we will be the outright conference champions.

Also at ISUb. Why is Wichita expected to win this game but were not. As of yesterday, It showed me that they are just as capable of getting beat in road games as we are.

Re: Up Next: Indiana State

#4 - If we lose a game between now and Feb. 28th, we need to WSU to lose both one game between now and Feb 28th as well as the game against us on Feb 28th.

The cards are stacked against us, but if we take care of our own business then we will be the outright conference champions.

Thats not right. If we lose 1 game and win in Wichita that would give us the tiebreaker.

You're right. Because head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker. I'll fix it for you.

Either way, it all comes down to the game in Wichita and there's no way we win the conference without winning that game.

We would have won the game yesterday no matter where we played it. Unfortunately, that game wasn't at Wichita. They'll make adjustments between now and then, and they'll definitely look like a much better team when we see them next.

Re: Up Next: Indiana State

Overall, the win yesterday gave us a one-loss cushion for the conference title. That one-loss cushion does not include the game against Wichita State.

Re: Up Next: Indiana State

This is going to be a gut check of monumental proportion for the team and staff after the Saturday high. All indicators lead to this being a scary 1. Our leaders need to be focused from now till the final buzzer to get the W. The target on our back is huge. We are swimming with the big boys now.

Any TV for this game?
