Arch Madness 2025

[BUFanatic]

Had to skip this year and was watching from home. Felt awful for the injured player but when coach started to yell at the official I yelled something to the effect of "okay coach, go on and help us, keep it up and hurt your team!".

Yes normally a fan base will cheer their own coach when he's giving it to the officials but in this instance the game was on the line and tge tech could have made the difference in the game. Ofc 95% of Valpo fans don't know this and just blindly cheer for a team. Wemt there for a year when they were good and in the Horizon and I told everyone they weren't that good, it was the league. Made the championship game and got slapped by Detroit 70-50 at home. One of the lowest basketball IQ fans bases I've ever met. (Not all of y'all, most here seem cool, s/offers to ValpoDad!)

And y'all say I talk nonsense. Lets get a few things out of the way first

Did All want Mo State. Yes he did. Mo State didnt offer him. In fact, someone who claims to be close to both Mo State and Link Academy claims that they BEGGED Mo State to take Cooper last year. and Dana didn't think he was tough enough. Same person said that All was given a similar treatment. Why should All have any loyalties to a school that didn't give him a chance.

Sure, metrically for 24-25 CUSA is better, but previous years were sitting around 14-15 range.

Dana said no not Cuonzo. Never said anything except what you just confirmed. Said I thought he'd go bigger.

So is the Valley a 2 bid league if Bradley wins today,or does Drake get the shaft by a Power5 school with 5 more wins than losses.

As for tomorrow. Although it kills the dreams of 2 bi valley, I put my money on Drake. Mostly because I have no respect for a fanbase that would cheer while a player is on the floor injured

Give me a break. Powell was chirping hard at the refs for like a minute straight while his player was injured on the floor because he didn't like that Darius got called for the foul. The Bradley section was cheering for a T.

The cheering had nothing to do with Darius being injured on the floor. In fact, the entire Bradley section clapped for Darius when he was helped off the court.

ESPN moved Drake up to “Should Be In” last night and ESPN Analytics moved Drake’s odds up to 84%.

You’re good to wear red today. Drake will even gain a Q1 win by losing. Go Braves!

I agree. If Bradley wins, Drake gains a Q1 win AND loses a Q3 loss. Should definitely be in considering the bubble where it stands. Go Bradley.

I don't see how Drake can be excluded but I don't see a second bid because I'm not expecting a Bradley win. I hope I'm wrong.

Even if the Braves win today their seeding would not be great and leave them in a difficult spot to find a tourney win.

Hmm. How is Drake seeded with a win? Where are they seeded with a loss?

I'm pulling for Drake with my low basketball IQ.

I don't post much here. I really only post on the VU board.
