First post...Thursday Night predictions and Friday Matchups?

[Redbird90]

Parity is the word that describes this league. On any given night...the 10th seeded team could beat the 1st seeded team. It's all about the match ups and who's healthy.

Mid-major basketball is the purest form of collegiate athletics...because these are truly student athletes that will have careers outside of basketball after graduation. With the current FBI investigations going on...I'm proud of coaches like Marty, Greg Lansing, Dan Muller, Ben Jacobson...etc.

This is absolutely true. This may be the best Arch Madness in years in light of the parity between the teams. Impossible to predict how this will play out. I won't miss the WSU fans, though.

I'll take ISTC over EU and UV over SMS.

Everyone happy now?

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

I don't know if pride is a factor when half the team tries to run Lusks "stuff" and half know better than to run it.

I see Valpo winning 2 - even over my Salukis - but after that I think the gas runs out. Excited for Arch Madness as usual!

I'm picking Evansville and Valparaiso to advance.

Valpo and UNI

Don’t really think either game will be close on a Thursday.

Caught some of the Evansville-Southern game on Saturday and the Aces looked healthy and that they could contend with any team in the country.

With that said:

Aces by 20
Mo State by 10
