19-22 FTs tonight is a nice change. Turnovers still a little higher than I'd like, but the offense seemed pretty balanced, even though we shot pretty poorly from 3.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

Hopefully they have a better idea of how to play against that zone tomorrow. I expect Born and Phyfe to both have better games tomorrow. I haven't seen Born miss that much from outside in awhile. I have been really pleased with Pickford's play lately. He just seems about 10 times more active which makes me think he got healthy or in shape again. Let's sweep this thing!

Complete basketball games have been so scarce this year, this game was beautiful. Tytan Anderson is my hero, I both absolutely love and horribly despise him diving for a loose ball with 45 seconds left in a 15 point game. Great heart, but oh my god you've already had knee surgeries, don't do that.
Win tomorrow and it's very unlikely that we get stuck on Thursday. And then, well, Arch Madness has seen some crazy stuff.

With the way the rules have been written the last three years, UNI would probably be in with a win regardless (and would have a punchers chance even with a loss). They changed the rules like a month ago to a system I personally think is stupid and now UNI needs a win and a loss by either UE or Valpo to get in the top six.
The same system puts Drake ahead of Loyola when Loyola would have been the top seed in the old system.

BTW both Indiana State and Missouri State have nothing to play for tomorrow except pride, and ISU already rested their star Key in the game tonight. With both teams playing on the road is it far from a foregone conclusion one of them will win tomorrow. A lot more on the line for UE and VU playing at home.
But Panthers can't control that. Just gotta focus on what they can do.

Actually I was wondering about that, I looked on the official MVC website for standings and it has UNI at 6th in the current three-way tie for 5th-7th. Is that just...inaccurate? Or is there something that I'm missing about how they're dolling out seeds this year?Originally posted by MVCBeat View PostWith the way the rules have been written the last three years, UNI would probably be in with a win regardless (and would have a punchers chance even with a loss).

I always keep one eye on Tytan when he's in the game and I don't think he knows how to not play hard.Originally posted by sevelev711 View PostComplete basketball games have been so scarce this year, this game was beautiful.

He does everything like he's 100% focused.
He's an easy player to like.Winning is more fun than losing.

I don't think it matters that Missouri State has nothing to play for. They're a machine right now. Evansville isn't going to be able to keep up with that.
It's to the point where I'd almost rather have the 7 than the 6 because MSU is just an awful matchup for us that I'd rather take my chance with Loyola on Friday because it's a much better stylistic fit.
That said, I think we Indiana State takes care of business and we get the 5 and the best possible path we could hope for if we're going to make a run.
