Wow, people have stopped ripping me for wanting to see SIU or BU come out of Thursday. A lot of people didn't get the point of my earlier post. If SIU or BU comes out of Thursday and you are upset that I said any of the top six teams would wipe them out on a neutral court...
...Exactly who is it that's going to finish in the bottom four that SIU or BU is going to beat to get out of Thursday? Is it your team?
If it's not your team, then there's no chance (in the opinions on this board) that BU or SIU makes it to Friday night. Unless there is some fan base (other than SIU or BU) that wants to step up and say, "We're playing Thursday and we're going to lose", then there's no chance that SIU or BU makes it to Friday in the opinions of the erudite posters on this fine message board.
If there are no fan bases willing to admit that they're playing Thursday and are going to get beat by SIU or BU then (in the mindset of this board) there is no possibility that SIU or BU is playing on Friday. That makes putting "BU" or "SIU" and "Friday night" in the same sentence an oxymoron.
