Could we? Yes. Will we? No. If we get past tonight, we still have CU, UNI, and WSU all at home and I think we drop one of those. Plus, we still have to go to Evansville and Carbondale

Has anyone ever pulled it off? And I don't mean back in 1930. Has it been done in the past 25-30 years?

You would be correct.

BU in '85-86 and ISUb in '78-79 are the last two to do it.

It was the 1985-86 season with Jim Les at PG and a sophomore named Hersey Hawkins.

BU went 16-0, 32-3 overall, but didn't win the MVC Tournament - Tulsa did...at home.

Their other regular-season loss was to Clemson at the Rainbow Classic.

They beat UTEP in the NCAA first round, then lost to Louisville - who won the title.

They're capable of doing it for sure. However, I think they're bound to slip up eventually. Considering how much the starters seem to play every night, the last couple weeks of the season could be tougher than expected. However, I hope we can continue winning and run into an undefeated Bears team in Springfield on Feb 26. That would make the trip that much greater!

I agree with Subgod. Their starters play a lot of minutes. They will eventually start getting worn down. The re-match with WSU in Springfield could be a tough one. Not to mention, when you play tired, you start getting injured. They still look good but I don't think they can keep it up.

I realize the starters play a ton of minutes but they are 22-23 year old kids. Playing 30-35 minutes twice a week isn't a huge thing. Now, 3 games in 3 days in STL is a whole other situation.

The Bars will go 18-0 on their way to the Final 4.

I don't see them losing at home. If they were to lose it will either be to ISU-B, SIU, Drake ISU-R or UE.

I don't think so. There are too many good teams in the Valley for them to win every game. Especially with them only being seven deep, they'll wear thin at the end of the year.
