  • OH to the Possibilities!

    While we should always just look one game a time...I'm skipping ahead to the last 2 conference games.

    We are easily only 2 games outta last place. (not good!) But if we win out and Bradley and WSU lose out we get the 4 seed, which yes...is a big deal

    Now while you can speculate that we won't win at Bradley...lets just say we do....Bradley still has to play Indiana State at home, and should win, but we can pray they lose. Either way if we win out, we play them in the 4 vs. 5 game.

    WSU has to play Missouri State and Creighton still on their schedule. They have a tougher task than we do to win although both games are at Koch Arena. Barring they lose both, they would be in 6th with an 8-10 record.

    So as you can see, there is a downside if we lose 1 or both of our last games...Play on Thursday of Arch Madness and be possibly the lowest 2 seeds or be as high as a 4 seed. If we can sneak in the 5 or 4 seed, we would play the 1 seed in the semis...which I feel we can win, and then let God's hand do the rest!

    It's exciting time folks! Panthers are finally turning the corner to improving the last few games! Played 20 minutes against MSU, Played 30 minutes against Creighton...I expect them to play 35 minutes with Nevada and setting up hard 40 minutes of play with Bradley and Ill St!

    Oh just think of the possibilities!

    Creighton gets Wichita at home. plus i think with evansville losing last night, that pretty much puts us at worst the #6 seed with the other teams remaining schedule. it would be nice to get up to #5 and avoid Creighton until the Championship (assuming we get there)
    Go Panthers!

      The 4 or 5 makes no difference other than color of jerseys we wear. If we beat IlSU we are the 5. If we beat BU and IlSU we are the 4. We have the tiebreaker over WSU (according to ValleyTalk).

      No need to worry about playing on Thursday. If we get the 5, I really like our chances to get to Sunday...
