Everyone wants their own team to be the next big thing in the conference, which breeds resentment

It SHOULD be our conference to lose for the foreseeable future. And if someone can fill Brown's role next year even half as well as he does...

I could be mistaken but so far we've played much better against teams in our second meetings. We know what to expect with these upcoming games and we know we are the much better team in all of them.

Not saying we will definitely win out...

Our final stretch is tough. @Loyola is basically a must win in my eyes. Get it done and we are in really good shape.

Nothing really to say about this one. No excuse not to crush em and avenge our last meeting.

UNI 81
ISU 62

NET is also treating us better than frequently cited Barttorvik and pretty much in line with Kenpom.

Not sure we can play the victim card when long standing and well respected metrics agree with it

The only notable thing Wichita has done since moving to the American is embarrassing themselves against 13 seed Marshall. UCONN is jumping ship. Cincinnati and Houston are likely targets for P5 expansion.

Their big move from the Valley is...

SIU actually dropped a couple spots to 146 after last night's win. Seems like they've pretty much hit their ceiling with far too many blemishes on their resume.

That road loss will probably stay in the Q3 zone unless they beat us again

I feel like they will cool off. They've pulled a lot of rabbits out of their hats to be in this position right now, but that's college basketball for ya and it's been a fun streak.

Either way, beat them in our gym and they shouldn't be a...

Unreal buzzer beater by SIU. Wow wow wow

Don't know how to post a picture on mobile but here's a tweet showing the 89-90 throwbacks. These looked so damn good in action

Remembering Berhow had a steal and nearly threw down a dunk surrounded by Valpo guys.

He came so close to owning the entire city of Valparaiso for eternity.

Wouldn't mind at all if those became mainstays. The originals had much bigger font and the style was kinda clunky but these are super sharp.

Pair those with the throwback whites we wore a year or 2 ago...

Valley road games have rarely been pretty this year, but that's another double digit road win at the end of the day.

That's our 20th win. On to Drake!

Alright just close it out. We've done what we've needed to so far.

Berhow definitely sold that charge.

We weathered their run thanks to Haldeman. Have to come out hot and bury them now

Crowd is brutal! I saw even on the valpo board people saying the crowd would be pretty good.

Seems like we already controlling the game but we can't rely on them being this cold all game

Looking at just the Drake game is insanely misleading. If it's 60.75 per student that's like $1.4mil per year to the athletics dept. In order to justify that amount of revenue they need to have seats ready for the students. There are maybe ~5 individual...

It's an instate rival game. It will be the biggest student turnout of the year. I will not be surprised at all if it's full.

Say they sell those tickets but the students show up, then what? Terrible look to be selling away student section...

Absolutely not. Selling the tickets would be absolutely outrageous.

Tickets are built into tuition and they'd be denying something they have a paid right to.

Give them a chance, what a ridiculous take. Yea just give up on the...

What are they doing with the beer garden area now that beer is sold elsewhere? I thought they used to get extra capacity from that.

Otherwise I think it's 6,650 or something...
