Creighton beats Drake 3-1, and Illinois State beats MSU 3-1. The Bears might be wishing they had this one back when the selections are announced.

CU plays WSU and IlSU plays UNI in the Semis tomorrow.

I would be quite surprised if they don't host. But nothing is guaranteed, since the NCAA determines host sites in such a way as to try and minimize the number of flights (trips over 400 miles) that they have to pay for.

UNI deserves to host, and congrats to UNI for a fantastic year. Hope you keep it going. Maybe Valley members 2-4 are weaker than normal, but I don't recall a more dominating team in recent history. Sure hope, and expect, CU and WSU to make tourney as well. Bears are kinda shaky about getting in.
