Racers get blown out by their rival on Senior Night. 20 loss season coming for Murray - the worst year since 1979.

Prohm has one year to right the ship imo.

I was really shocked by that result.

UIC has way too much talent to be as bad as they are. They just s*** the bed so many times down the stretch tonight.

Bradley hammered SIU on Senior Night. Xavier Johnson has no fun when Malevy Leons guards him.

How’s player development at Missouri St going? The Bears only had 4 players score a point tonight.

Benson is a stud though.

Fire Dana and he can come back to his Alma mater as an assistant and bring him with. I'd be good with that plan

Double-check me, but I think I have this correct for Arch Madness:

1. Indiana State
2. Drake
3. Bradley

While Drake and Indiana State could finish with the same league record, Indiana State wins the tiebreaker for seeding based on NET ranking.

Seeds 4-6 still need sorted as Southern Illinois, UNI and Belmont all enter the last game at 11-8. That sorting is made easier because UNI plays at SIU, so only two of these teams can finish with the same record. Belmont hosts Evansville. Belmont split the series with both UNI and SIU, so NET will come into play again for seeding regardless of the BEL/UE result.

SIU has the NET advantage (107) while UNI (121) and Belmont (123) are close. The winner of UNI/SIU will be the No. 4 seed based off the NET tiebreaker, even if Belmont wins. A Belmont win makes it the No. 5 seed, a loss makes it the No. 6 because I don't see them jumping UNI in NET in any scenario where they'd have the same league record.

Seeds 7-8 are Illinois State and Murray State. Both enter the last game day at 9-10, with Illinois State sweeping the season series between the two. If they finish with the same record, ISU gets the No. 7 seed. ISU is at Valpo. Murray is at Indiana State.

Missouri State is a game ahead of Evansville and swept the Aces this season, so the Bears are the No. 9 seed.

No. 9 is Missouri State
No. 10 is Evansville
No. 11 is UIC
No. 12 is Valpo

Murray's going to be the 8 seed. And honestly it doesn't matter if we are the 7, because Evansville and Missouri State are similar matchups for the Racers.

If I were Prohm I would experiment with the bench vs. Indiana State. We aren't going to win, and it doesn't matter if we do, so I would give the bench more PT and/or throw some wrinkles in the gameplan.

Truthfully, the Racers match up better with ISU than with Drake - we have a better shot at beating them. But I'm sure Missouri State will have something to say Thursday.

Waiting for this nightmare of a season to be over.

Murray is not a team that in excited about the prospect of us potentially playing in back-to-back weeks, regardless of how little momentum they seem to have currently.

Be advised that the Xavier Johnson on the court now has a gas tank hovering on empty, he has played almost every minute of every game this year.
