Play-in round

Postby Kip Dynamite » February 19th, 2021, 9:28 am

Looking at the lower standings things look really tight. Even when looking at the individual schedules, it’s tough to tell who’s going to avoid the play-in and and who’s not. Illinois State is probably a lock but beyond them it’s anybody’s guess.

I’ll go with these four right now (in no particular order) but obviously subject to change:

ISU r
SIU
UNI
BU

If Childs doesn't play, no chance BU can beat Drake, and even with him, at best you may get a split. I'd put BU in for sure.

UE has 4 games left....2 with Drake and 2 with MSU. They're not out of the woods yet.

According to a Math professor on the Ace's board they could get blown out in their last five games, and still finish sixth. They've already lost one.

Top 4 are guaranteed top 4. Bottom 6 can all be seeded anywhere from 5-10, except Evansville which is guaranteed no worse than 9.

A lot would have to happen for ILST to get off Thursday but their are scenarios where it could happen. It starts and ends with a sweep of UNI, though.

#1 Loyola
#2 Drake
#3 Missouri State
#4 Indiana State
#5 Evansville
#6 Valparaiso
#7 NORTHERN IOWA
#8 ILLINOIS STATE
#9 SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
#10 BRADLEY

Sunday & Monday games between Valparaiso & Southern Illinois will definitely play a big part in the #5-#9 Seeding.
