Lol. Yep.

Finally the refs calling something. Going to get brutal.

UNI just not playing well on either end of the floor. Sure, we can wish the first half was called tighter but you have to adjust. Panthers don’t look like they are capable of making a late run in this one, but I hope I’m wrong.

[sivert]

I’m not sure what the point of fouling late at this point, except to ensure that there are whistles somewhere in the room.

Really impressive stuff from Loyola the last two days.

[VUGrad1314]

Absolutely. I just wish they had gotten better results down the stretch to close the regular season. It would make me feel a lot less anxious about their at large chances. I'll repeat my question from yesterday fixing that glaring time gaffe I made in my previous query: Do you think Loyola is in win or lose tomorrow or do you think we're looking at one bid for the MVC regardless of what happens? I'm not sure if these wins over Bradley and UNI are going to stay Q2 (Bradley might but I don't think UNI will given the MOV but maybe it's enough to erase the loss on the road to close the regular season) and I wonder if that will make a difference if Loyola doesn't win tomorrow. What do you think? The San Francisco BYU game will be very big because if the Dons can win that game not only does it make Loyola's head to head win look better it knocks BYU completely off the bubble in all likelihood which will help.

On another (unrelated to the MVC as of now) note What happened to Belmont down the stretch of the season? They really lost a lot of steam. Hoping for a chalky result in that tournament with Murray State beating Morehead so that the Racers don't have to take an at large slot.

Loyola is up to 24 in KenPom after today's win. We will see about the NET in the morning. At-large metrics but without a big time win, other than USF.

When was the last time a top-seeded UNI team lost by 20 at Arch Madness? Oh, Two years ago...

Real chance the best player in school history won't ever play in the NCAA Tournament. What a shameful statement.

[NuncEstBibendum]

I do not give a s*** about what anyone else thinks, but Prim is the dirtiest player in the Conference. Tired of seeing him hook and hold and everything else he does.

This game has proven that.

[BUFanatic]

What bothers me about Prim isn’t what he does, it’s his attitude doing it. Entitled millennial “how you gonna call that on me”.
