Good Stuff, Man!!!

Don't be a stranger around here. We could use a little level-headedness every once in a while...

MO State will not beat Valpo. No way he risks losing to SIU and Barry again...

You lost all credibility when you called the Aces EU.
It’s UE. Always has been, always will.

Hasn't always been. Used to be EC.

And SIU used to be Southern Illinois Normal College. The point being made was that UE never has been EU since jumping from college to university. UE has been part of the MVC since 1994. Learn the initials or don't use them.

Thanks, Marty. SIU used to be Southern Illinois Normal University; SINU. In fact, the homecoming theme in 1948 was "We ain't Normal anymore."

By the way, it's tradition, especially west of the Mississippi River to call "University of Whatever" schools WU....the University of Oklahoma is OU, University of Kansas is KU, etc.

Need any more useless information?

As a UIS Redbird fan, I can feel your pain. I'll take E-Ville and NIU on Thursday Night. Wait...the Drake/Bradley game got moved to Friday????

Maybe I need to look closer at the bracket....E-Ville and Valpo.

MSUDuo.....ouch! So Paul Lusk scared of his alma mater? Well Valpo will be game for sure. Let's see how much pride those Bears seniors have

[SalukiHoops]

I'll take Evansville and Valpo

I'm new to this forum..but have been reading the forum for years. Go4Valley is trying to belittle UE...as the shocker fans used to do. If you knew the recruiting budget that Marty has and knew anything about basketball...he's a damn good coach that runs the motion offense better than anyone in the country. There shouldn't be anyone on this forum disparaging any teams. They are in my eyes about as even as they could be. If the UE players stayed healthy all season...they could've just as well been in the top 5 in the Valley. Evidence being the 7 point loss at Loyola and the 31 point blowout vs. SIU (2nd seed). This may be the most entertaining Arch Madness in years. Go Aces.

Look, another opportunity for the "letter" police.
