    SMU was spectacular last year, but they lost a ton, 4 of the 5 starters, and with that 4 of the 5 leading scorers. The three highest scorers from last year currently on their team averaged 13.0, 4.3, and 4.3. They did have a 4-star transfer redshirt last year, and they're bringing in a bunch of freshmen. Way too early prediction, but I think UNI can win. I'm not saying they will win, but it could happen. Hopped over to their fourm, complaining about how UNI is the worst team in the field. I guess WKU and Tennessee dropped out.

    And that first round win is important, at least for "exposure" and RPI purposes. The championship and third place games air on ESPN, the 5th and 7th place games air on AXS TV. Whatever that network is. And for RPI, it's the difference between facing Arizona and Purdue instead of NC State and Tennessee.

      Are there any recent rankings/projections on SMU? The only one I see was before the draft and assumed Ojeleye stayed in school (had them #20). Losing him is a huge blow though.

        What are the other matchups? I'm not finding a bracket online.

          No bracket, but the matchups are Purdue vs Tenn, WKU vs Nova, NC State vs Zona, SMU vs UNI.

                Full schedule released today. Unfortunately my phone isn't letting me post an image of it. Open and close the conference season at home.

                  It's a miracle.
                  "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                    Looking at days of the week and past history with how our TV contracts work, we're going to be on National TV a lot.

                    Educated guesses-
                    CBS Sports Network--12/28 vs Southern Illinois, 1/4 @ Missouri State, 2/3 vs. Indiana State
                    ESPNU--1/7 vs Loyola, 1/21 @ Southern Illinois, 1/28 @ Loyola
                    ESPN/ESPN2--2/17 @ Illinois State, 2/24 vs Missouri State

                    Throw in 3 or 4 appearances on Valley TV and Atlantis and you're to about half our schedule and that doesn't even include Carolina (will be picked up by an ESPN network), UNLV (CBS Sports Net?), Iowa State (ESPNU?) and Xavier and we've got more exposure than any Valley team could ever hope for.

                        That game against Missouri State could be for the MVC Regular Season title.

                          I think it's missing a few matches.
