In before Cybyassociation...

I'm really enjoying this so far. I don't think it'll last, and I usually root for UNI, but this year they're so overrated I've found myself rooting against them. It's not their problem - they're doing their jobs by winning, but #11? Can't believe that. I think the selection committee will see their resume and they'll be no higher than a 4 seed. If they lose this game, they'll drop to 5 or 6.

They definitely belong on the tournament, but their rating is rather overrated.

How can anyone watch this and say MVC basketball is legit? This is some ugly basketball by UNI right now.

"Illinois state showing they might be for real"
I think he be to say "Illinois state is showing uni might not be for real "

Yeah... this is a team that lost twice to #188 Indiana State, and to #277 southern illinois. Illinois State is a bad team. They had one win against the top 100 coming into this tournament, Old Dominion way back in november.

I don't dislike UNI, I just wish their fans would admit the MVC is terrible.

Verne is disgusted with UNI haha

I am really looking forward to crushing UNI at the Well in December. Oh that will be fun.

Illinois State is impressing me. Even if they have been poor for part of the season, they are shooting well. Has anyone weighed in on what seed they'd get if they won this game?

I love chaos among the bubble teams. Go Ill St!

 

[WIBadger]

I'll give plenty of blame to many of their fans for being annoying as **** about it though.

I understand that. And that's where not being in the state helps

I saw one bracket guy say around a 12 seed.

IMO they've had much better offensive movement than UNI so far in this game. UNI seems pretty stagnant.

This may be a stupid question, but why does the Ill St coach look familiar?

CBS Spelling fail

We could maybe see Illinois State round 1 if they pull this off. 14 seed sounds about right, maybe 13.

"Hey kids, that's Cy!",
*murmurs* "**** I pointed at the wrong mascot, kids won't notice anyways."

I was thinking he looked real familiar too, but I don't know where I would know him from. Played at Ill St in the mid 90's, was a longtime assistant for Stallings at Vandy before taking this job.

HIGGINS!!!

you know it's an MVC game when Casey's is the main advertiser of the game.

 

[HFCS]

I've watched Illinois State go 0-4 vs UNI and WSU so far. They are like a team of midgets, would not do well at all in B12.

Fouls, fouls everywhere.
