Personally, I think it is WSU and ISUr in the finals. I suspect it will be a hard fought game by both teams. Please leave the Globe Trotter uniforms at home.

Go Shocks!

Ah, come on. You gotta love the candy cane shorts! I agree though, I think it's birds/shocks in the final. Regardless of Saturday's result, it will be a tremendous game.

Better hope so, despite how they look (I actually kind've like em) I don't think we've ever lost in them!

What he doesn't realize is by moderating a user or blocking a user, it would increase his unique visitors drastically across more fan bases and thus his value as a website for more ad dollars in his pocket.


As for your 2nd comment - 4 teams can win. WSU, UE, ISUr, UNI (SIU is done).


SIU is done. Hinson basically admitted it in the post game interviews against Illinois State. Teams have us solved. Just let our bigs have as many touches as they want because they can't score. And outside of an occasional good game from Beane the 3 other guards have disappeared these last 8 games. Still a successful year. Just a head scratching finish. 1 and done in the tourney.

We do realize that Wichita has to get through UNI that won in Wichita and dominated Illinois State in the last two weeks, right?

This thing is legitimately a 3 horse race. I don't think Evansville can win because 1) Marty 2) Balentine won't have any legs by the middle of the first half on Sunday if they get there.

I wouldn't say dominated. It was a game of runs and Purcell sat the entire 2nd half

Agree with everything else.

UNI was up 14 at the half. ISU actually closed the game without Purcell
Last lead was with about 15 minutes in the first half left
UNI was consistent with their scoring pace the entire game, the only runs were the 2 9 to 11 point runs that kept ISU as close as they were

If you believe the coaching staff, there were migraines and sickness that affected the team's ability to compete at their top level. May or may not have changed the game's final outcome, but affected the "domination" you're speaking of.

Domination is what happened to the Salukis on Wednesday.
