  • Game 28-@Missouri State

    The importance of this game can't really be overstated. Win, and we likely have the inside track to avoiding Thursday and having a real chance in St.Louis. lose, and we will have a real uphill battle to avoid the opening night of Arch Madness.

    Not really. 2-2 is most likely going to avoid Thursday (76.3% chance) so, while this would be a great win and I like the matchup due to style, calling this a 'must win' to avoid Thursday is wholly inaccurate.

      It may not be a must win to avoid Thursday, but I would call it a "must win" in the confidence department. Winning two in a row on the road with a couple home games coming up and it sets the stage for these guys to really start believing they can run the table in STL. I don't think there has been a 3 game win streak yet this year, but it would be nice to have one before going to STL where it would be a requirement in order to keep playing basketball this spring.

        I didn't realize the numbers had swung that much in our favor after last weekend, that's incredible. The fact that we could still (longshot) end up with a top 3 seed is absolutely insane.

          Maybe true, but I still think this game is extremely important. Win, and we are sitting pretty good for PIG avoidance.

          If we lose, we are sweating bullets, we would need to win 2 of last 3, home vs Valpo, home vs Loyola, and away vs Indiana State. It's doable, but even if we win 2, you are saying we are likely to be safe, but not even close to a lock at 76%. I'm not ready to roll the dice with our luck this season, and I doubt we will win all 3 of those games

            I'm just saying we don't need to go all into meltdown mode if we lose this one against the team playing the best ball in the league right now. Would a win be great? Absolutely. Would a loss make us an automatic Thursday team with no hope? Absolutely not.

            Honestly, a win tomorrow night and you can start realistically talking about a share of a regular season title.

              Between this winter weather and this conference season, I don't think we're going to be forgetting this season anytime soon. I feel like everything is just madness at this point.
              "...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."

                    With the huge log jam this close to the end of the season, does anyone know how the tie-breakers work? Obviously head to head is first but after that i cant remember.

                        Shhhh, seems like every time you start this kind of talk we immediately go in the tank. Just kidding. But seriously.

                              We've talked about this in other messages

                              Your luck is nothing on mine, to the point you've messaged me about me needing to turn the game off
