At this point it doesn't matter. Either one will be a decent return game if it is made next year. Drexel goes 7 deep and only 1 is a senior, 5 are underclassmen

I'm expecting MSU to draw Drexel after tonight's home loss, which is a complete no-win for the Bears. They'd play a team with an RPI in the 60s in front of 1500 people barely over .500 in-conference.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the decisions were made before this game was over.

On his call-in show last Thur Jake said the match-ups would be set some time Sunday afternoon, prior to the UNI-MSU game.

VCU-WSU would be a good match-up and should be fun to watch. Saw VCU play Thurs on the U and they like to get up and down.

Hope that opens up a George Mason for UNI and we don't get stuck with a Kent State or Vermont.

I think Missouri State gets one of the better home draws as they are still one of the best road teams.

All three schools can help themselves with a solid BB performance. Would be nice if the rest of the league can do something as well.

What time is the announcement? Anyone here have inside knowledge of their matchup?

No-win??? Disagree. I'd much rather play Drexel or Valpo and get a good road win than play at St Marys and get killed.

Sounds like it will probably be VCU @ WSU

Where are you getting this from?

Someone from our board stated the matchups were made over a week ago.
