I’m taking a great amount of pleasure from the fact it looks like both Tulsa and Wichita will be play in teams this year…

Also, how do they still sell out with a 14-12 5-9 record in a garbage game against ECU?

Loyola is an NCAA tourney team. No way there are 30 something at large teams better than them right now in college basketball. No way.

I think the NET number makes it a near lock (last four) no matter what happens tomorrow but I have been wrong before. Or the 11 seed with a win.

NET matters until the selection committee doesn't want it to matter.

Bradley AD Chris Reynolds is on the selection committee, FYI.

I'll be pretty surprised if Loyola doesn't win today. They should have the far better legs.

Sadly, haven't seen any of the games. How has the attendance been at the games? Does it look like covid is still impacting things?

Attendance has been good. Looks the same as 2018-2020. MSU/Drake/Loyola better than usual. UNI/BU/SIU/ISUr brought good crowds. Drake/UNI crowds, in particular, were pretty rowdy, especially the Drake section with the hard hats.

Is the upper level still closed off? When SIU was relevant and the Shockers were top 10 upper level was open.

That's good. I hope it helps with seeding and getting multiple bids.

Upper level is curtained off.

They opened the upper level last year and I loved it. First row, upper deck is my favorite seat in any venue. The corner/end seats at Enterprise aren’t exactly good sightlines, so I’d much prefer upper deck.

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.

I'm not sure if he's dirty, but he got away with 2-3 elbows to the head today. One even resulted in a foul called on the Drake defender.

I would challenge you and everyone else to watch any Valley MSU game this year and only focus on Primm. The constant harassment and abuse he endures is astonishing. He is a brute but not a thug.
The play where he held Tucker up from falling only to be shoved by Tucker resulted in everyone replying "there goes Primm again". It should have been a technical on Tucker if anything.
The play where Penn went to the floor was much scrutinized as possible flagrant. Primms arm never went down. He didn't knock Penn to the floor.
I understand Primm is very physical (posts are supposed to be) but he isn't dirty.

Let’s go Bulldogs!
