As an Indiana State I would like to play either Evansville or UNI. I don't want to play MSU in the first round, I'd rather beat them in the championship game in their home state.

I think UE gonna be a popular pick. And I love it.

ISU fan wanting to play UE even though UE swept the series. Maybe going on theory that it is hard to beat a team 3 times in one season.

This year's tourney is the most interesting in my memory as any team in the league has proven they can play the spolier. The auto bid is truly up for grabs.

Go Valley!!

Go Shocks!!!!

I think my ideal end-of-season ordering looks like this:

1. WSU
2. MSU
3. UE
4. Creighton
5. ISU-Blue
6. UNI
7. through 10. is mostly irrelevant.

That sets up UE to play UNI in the Friday game, and probably MSU on Saturday. I can think of several worse matchups for Evansville.

I don't want the Bears to face the Trees or Shocks until finals. Shocks because of their potential and Trees because they seem to play at their best against us. Don't know if it's matchups, confidence, coincidence, or what but they just play well against us.

Then again, maybe we should play them the first game since everyone is convinced our bench is too short. Playing them later would give us no chance ;) .

I agree fully with DUShock, this could be the most exciting in some years. Any team can be dangerous.
I think the winner though will have a deep bench and a bench that can hit threes, scoring a bunch off the bench when needed. I don't think we will see low scoring games on Saturday and Sunday.

Wichita State's Newcomer of the Year Ben Smith would concur with you. He is shooting somewhere around 77% from three off the bench.

As long as my team plays 4 games I don't care who we play. ;)
