Re: Arch Madness 2016

Only if WSU wins it's first game. I'd like to see Loyola end up in that 8 spot after Thurs games and then knock off WSU in the first round giving us a 3rd shot at the only team we haven't beaten this year and a second shot at revenge. I'm confident we would not lose to them a third time.

Probably won't happen, but that's my dream.

Re: Arch Madness 2016

I'm of the opinion that if Loyola beat us twice they are perfectly capable of also beating WSU on any given Friday. Obviously WSU will be favored and are the safe bet.

Re: Arch Madness 2016

They were playing an 8 point game until Earl Peterson got hurt last night. Loyola gives Wichita the same issues defensively that they give us.

WSU will be a tough out. They lost in the semis last year and were none too happy about it.

Something about points not being put into the right hat or something...

So, when UNI wins Arch Madness and EIU finishes their end of season thud, will either one be in Des Moines?

Iowa is going to lose Des Moines if they fall to the 4 line. Michigan State is going to get that spot and Iowa ends up in St Louis. Not a terrible difference, but enough to be noticeable.

UNI will not end up in Des Moines as a 12 or 13 because they won't geographically disadvantage a higher seed. IF we would win Arch Madness prepare for Providence, Spokane, or Denver. Ick.

Fixed your Post. If we win Arch Madness, that would be great. I get your point but I'm not going to complain about location after this year.

It will be a noticeable difference when I got to sell my tickets at DSM. It is the only reason I hope they do well

If it's Michigan State and Kansas, you'll do just fine...

I would tend to agree, but likely would do much better if it was Kansas and Iowa. Not to mention the satisfaction of up charging some Iowa fans.

Being only 3 hours away from Denver myself I would be all over that like white on rice. I thought long and hard about going to Seattle last year, but it just didn't
work out financially or logistically.

Have you seen what tickets in Des Moines are selling for? $700+ for full strips in the lower corners! And that is before Stub Hub fees. Makes me wonder if there are going to be some regretful Hokeye fans dumping tickets to Spartan fans. Too bad.
