Bradley also, somewhat surprisingly, gets a home game with a 3 seed and will host ... drum roll ... Loyola Chicago. Wardle needs to do the one thing he has still never done: win a post-season tourney game beyond a conference tournament.

Great scheduling! Looks like I will try to fire up both computers to ESPN+ while watching Loyola -Bradley on one and the Sycamores on the other. Not sure I can even do that and make any sense of things but it should be interesting.

Well, "if" we win tonight we'd host Minnesota, what an incredible opportunity ISU has, lots going on with the team, we'll see if we can get the win tonight

That second half was some impressive stuff. 61 for the Trees on their way to 101 and a win. Nice comeback.

No new thread for Minnesota yet and near total silence concerning the SMU contest. The hideously ugly elephant in the room appears (if true) to have left the current or former coach unceremoniously pulling his pants back up while pretending that nothing has happened.

Did it look to any of you like some of the ISU coaches and players might have spent the first 30 minutes vs SMU with their minds focused elsewhere or was that just my interpretation?
