Arch Madness - FRIDAY GAME THREAD

[Majik45]

I love how everything thinks the play-in teams will somehow win again or have a chance and there has only been 1 team to ever pull the upset. Usually the games like this are that the play-in team stays close until (within 10 points) until about half way through the 2nd half, and then their legs wear out and the top seeds win going away by like 20 points.

Wish I were down there today.

Hell of a game going on right now. Missouri St leads Illinois St 48-46 with 2:00 in the game.

That was a really ugly win for the Bears, but a win nonetheless.

MSU fans have to feel very good about Lusk. 20 wins, an RPI of 88, and advancing to (at least) the Semis is a heck of an accomplishment after last season, especially considering the injuries.

I hope they give him a raise this offseason.

Lusk had a successful season this year!

Sycamores look good early, attacking the basket, which we have rarely seen this season. 11-4 ISU leads at the under 16 TO

Doyle with 2 fouls in 2 minutes for Loyola, so not good losing him so early

[bleach]

Keith Pickens had 14 boards w/8 offensive. What a heart!

[isumvc1]

Sycamores revert to chucking up 3's and Loyola is right back in it, 17-14 ISU leads, Loyola to the line after the TO

17-16 ISU now

Doyle returns

[isumvc1]

Sycamores on a run, leading 23-16 as Odum has taken over briefly.

[isumvc1]

26-22 ISU at halftime, Loyola hangs around without Doyle.

[isumvc1]

51-38 ISU leads 2nd half, slowly pulling away from Loyola, who may be tired
