Drake 2-5
Evansville 2-5
Loyola 2-5

Shaping up to be another log jam in the middle of the league this year.

[BCPanther]

I think Drake, Evansville and SIU are locks. Its a battle between Bradley and Loyola for the 7 spot.

It will end up this way, IMO...

1-WSU
2-InSU
3-UNI
4-MSU
5-IlSU
6-Bradley
7-Loyola
8-Drake
9-SIU
10-Evansville

Poor D+ thought they were going to end Drake Night in the Lou for once.

Poor D+ thought they were going to end Drake Night in the Lou for once.

Eh, It's our first year under a new coach with hardly anyone coming back and a roster thrown together right before the year started. We were picked for last and still have a chance to finish out of the play in game.
I'll think we'll be out for sure next year and hopefully won't be back on Thursday night for a very long time after that.

[hot nuts]

Haven't Drake and Bradley been matched up on Thursday for three straight years? If that happens again there should be t-shirts printed up. Tough call this year, every team on the list has shown signs of life at some point. I guess which ever teams can start to string consistent efforts together can save their fans a night's hotel stay. I'll say Drake, MSU, Bradley and SIU on Thurdsay.

[Mikovio]

The only 3 teams out of the Thursday woods are Wichita, ISU Blue and UNI. MSU is in danger after losing Marshall and ISU Red's wins so far are the cupcakes.

Bradley will go as far as Walt Lemon takes them. I'm going to be optimistic and say he's turned the corner and leads the Braves out. I can't decide whether I would rather finish 6th and be opposite Wichita on the bracket or give it up and finish in the 4-5 game so we can play to get our butts kicked on regional instead of national television.

1 Wichita
2 ISU Blue
3 UNI
4 Bradley
5 ISU Red
6 MSU
7 SIU
8 Loyola
9 Drake
10 Evansville

Bradley hasn't won a road game all year and only two in conference in 3+ years. What makes you think they can win on the road?

The same thing that makes him think Walt is a better PG than FVV.
