Game 24: @ Loyola-Chicago

[BrockLesnar]

Ohhhh, Mr Lunardi thinks we're an AQ seeded 14th in the Milwaukee region playing 3 seed Wisconsin. Loyola seeded 10 vs. Iowa the 7th seed in Indianapolis.

All the two bid scenarios are dependant on Loyola winning the regular season, making the final game, and losing to whoever the opponent is, correct? To my knowledge, LU is the only team with a shot at an at large. If anyone but LU wins the regular season, that means the MVC is single bid. Let me know if I'm missing something, but think that's correct.

We are the auto bid right now because we are in first place. I don't know how it plays out if the season ends this way, but Loyola at a 10 means they are still in the 'safe' zone but only by maybe 8 spots.

Bart Torvik has a team forecast.

With Loyola winning out except losing to UNI 3 times (last in MVC championship), he had them as a last four bye.

I would love to see that, but don’t see it happening. Their style tends to bother UNI on the offensive side of the court.

Loyola is the only at-large potential. However, they could lose that. We have to win in St Louis. NIT is available for the #1 losing at St Louis. A lot can happen. A team can go from looking like they're on their way and get nothing.

FWIW, 7.5 point underdogs on the opening spread

With how we've been playing, that seems steep...Not steep enough for me to risk my own money, but steep nonetheless

Before I looked I guessed 7. It's down to 6.5 now, I'd be surprised if it dips any lower.

I’ve got a good feeling. Time for shots to fall.

All the pressure is on them today.

We win and we become a pretty heavy favorite. We lose and we've still got a perfectly logical path to a title with the big ones at home.

They fall a game back in the loss column with Drake left and a trip to play us in their 4th game in 8 days.

House money today boys...

Kennedy out for Loyola today

I'm hoping that the game bumping right into the Super Bowl (what the hell ESPN?)

you'd rather they don't show the game at all?

Yes because that's exactly what I said....

Averages 22mpg 8pts and 4 rebounds, can’t hurt us?
