That's true. NIT bid is probably worth the slight decrease in their tournament championship chances. If that's even true that the 2 seed is better than the 1 seed - in my view it would be.

From a winning in St Louis perspective, the 2 is much better than the 1 for us. Let Loyola/Bradley/Drake battle it out on the top side and I'll take our chances with Dana v Jake with 20ish hours to prepare.Originally posted by not a drake fan View Post
Herein lies the conundrum....Comment

Not to get ahead of things here, but Valpo is up by 6 on Loyola at the half. That is potentially an incredibly interesting update, considering this wasn't supposed to be the hardest game of their four game stretch.Comment

Lol of course coming off their best game of the season against us they put up kind of a dud.
At the very least, they got the performance out before the tournament which is mostly all we care about at this pointComment

Drake is up 54-17 against Evansville lolComment

PSA: we are officially rooting against Valpo so that they fall to the 8/9 seed and get a 3rd crack at Loyola.
It's not likely since they still get to play UE twice, but it's possible if UE can split that. The Trees have a tough schedule and Valpo will lose a tiebreaker to the Birds.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account.

The first ten minutes of this Drake/Loyola game is just making me angrier about how dumb it was when Loyola came out like the '96 Bulls last weekend. WTH was that crap.
I think I'm rooting for them to win. I just don't have a lot of confidence that UNI will go 3-0, and that's what it's gonna take to avoid the 4/5 game if Drake gets a W today.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account.

Right! Is this the same Loyola team we played!?!?Comment

Ya know what? I'm not convinced it's the best result for UNI, and it may knock UNI down to the 4/5 game. But let's go Dawgs. Whatever we can do to send Loyola out the door without an MVC title, I'm all for.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account.

This is the real Loyola. We're going to kick their ass next weekendComment

You're right. It's high time for me to ditch the loser mindset.Yeah, a D+ effort out of me on the day I created the name for this account. I didn't think I would use this account more than once.Comment

And now Ill St is tied with Bradley in Peoria.
Don't try to predict any gameComment

We have a chance to get the conference championship outright. This is what I want. I don't care if this makes it more likely to get the 4/5 game. We control our own destiny, let's do it.To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.Comment

So, is there a chance that 5 teams finish the season at the top with the same record?Comment

Technically I think all 5 could end up with 6 losses but that would require Evansville beating Missouri State and Loyola this week.Originally posted by '70 Grad View Post
Now having a 4 way tie at 13-5 is more plausible but still unlikely. All 4 beat the teams they should. We lose to MSU but beat Loyola. MSU loses to Bradley mid-week. Drake wins out. Loyola loses to us.
I believe seeding would go- Drake (4-2 in round robin)
MSU (3-3 in round robin, wins NET tiebreaker)
UNI (3-3 in round robin, loses NET tiebreaker)
Loyola (2-4 in round robin)
