Arch Madness quarterfinals - Friday

[squirrel]

I heard Born fell on the walk from the locker room to the bus, still looking for a foul.

Jacobson tried to get the 2019 DLO flagrant call that last minute but Higgins declined. That would’ve been high irony.

Belmont/ISU is like watching Big XII football. The points never end.

You could put Josh Schertz in Belmont attire and Casey Alexander in Indiana St attire and I would not know the difference.

Duke Dean never came back after taking a fall in the Bradley game, did he get hurt?

What an entertaining game, got our money's worth in that one.

Just watched the ESPN+ replay of the BU-UNI game. As a Bradley fan, I just want to say mad respect to UNI and Coach Jacobson. I do NOT want to see that team next year. In more than 30 years watching MVC basketball, I don't think I've seen a tougher group of frosh and sophs. BU was fortunate (no, not lucky as in officiating) to win this.

If Mast and Leons are back for BU and Wardle is back as coach, BU is the favorite next year, but don't sleep on UNI and Belmont. Some crazy young talent there. Cheers.

I'm just hoping that UNI and Belmont can keep their young talent. I hope they don't bolt for bigger and better things. For the MVC to improve, we have to keep some of our good players.

Last season, the all-MVC teams were really young.....and most of them bolted for greener pastures. I'm hoping this off-season is different, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm hoping for a better retention rate than last off-season, but it would be naive not to expect big losses.

Like Indiana State, this is the most Drake fans I’ve ever seen in STL.

Murray and Drake fans have made this game an awesome in-arena environment.

Arch Madness feels completely reenergized this year.
