Top 4

Best guess using my computer betting stats

Drake wins 5
Belmont wins 4
SIU wins 4
Bradley wins 4

UNI wins 4
Indiana St wins 5
Murray St wins 4
MO St wins 4

Remember a loss to UNI at your home is a Quad 4 Loss.

He has a different opinion than mine and that's ok, but I don't agree. Moving on, Jake outcoached DeVries last night, but Born blew it by trying too much hero ball in the OT's. I wouldn't be on a team with a selfish head down dribbler like Born, why work hard to get position when Born can't see you? Yes he's great at making outlandish shots and he's quick. He's not even close to Roman Penn level.
Imagine being proud that you confronted a coach about anything relating to his team. LMFAO what a clown.

Ill take a crack at top 4....

1- Bradley
2- Drake
3 - SIU
4 - Indiana State

I like Indiana States schedule, hate UNIs, Missouri State shorthanded without Trimble, Murray win @ ISU Saturday would make me rethink about putting Murray or Belmont into the top 4.

Indiana State hit the schedule lottery only getting Bradley and Belmont once.

SIU, Belmont, Murray, Bradley and Indiana State each still have 3 games against the bottom 4 left. That gives them a leg up as well. Bradley and Drake have a pretty much insurmountable lead in the NET as well for if/when we end up in a giant jumbled mess of a tie.

I'm pretty confident that Bradley and Drake end up in the top 4 but not at all willing to make any commitments beyond that.

the unbalanced schedule really sucks... It is what it is though. SIU going to be in pretty good shape with tie breaks too. 1-0 vs Belmont, 2-0 vs Murray, any ties including those teams and SIU wil likely win them. Indiana State, SIU straight up would be really tight. SIU up 10ish consistently in NET but if ISUB made up a game that would be razor thin.

Don't forget Net Ranking is not the first thing used for Tie breakers when there are 3 or more teams. It goes to round robin first.

Exactly, if SIU sweeps Missouri State this weekend most of these round robins are going to favor them. It's probably why Hacksaws chart put their chances at a bye with 13 wins above 80% which is above league average.

Four teams at 9-4 and four teams at 8-5 is just wild! Should be a great ride the rest of the season!

I just want to watch the world burn.

This weekend, give me:

Illinois State over Belmont
UNI over Bradley
Valpo over Drake
Missouri State over Southern Illinois

That's an 7 way tie at 9-5 with either Murray or Indiana State at 8-6

If 7 teams tie for the conference... Do they all hang a banner and get a tropohy? If so, if you are a fan of one of those 7 teams, how do you feel about it? lol
