Odds of playing on Thursday night

Creighton, Wichita St, Missouri St, UNI - no chance

Southern Illinois 100%
Bradley 100%

That leaves 2 spots from either Drake, Illinois St, Indiana St, and Evansville. I kinda figure Drake ends up in 8th, but I think Illinois State and Evansville look better than the Sycamores. Could Indiana State be in the play in game?

Paging mister Hackett. Mr. Hackett, please report to the basketball forum.

It is my hope that Creighton is the top seed, Shox and Bears are next, and don't much else care.

I wouldn't say UNI has no chance. Not very likely, but they are still 2-3 and tied for 5th.

I agree, it's kind of curious he places us with no chance and two teams that have beaten us, one at home, as possibilities. I think we are definitely capable of being a top 4 team when all is said and done, but it has to be done on the court, and we have 5 games left with the other teams listed as "no chance".

Agree on UNI having a chance to play on Thursday. They've only played one game against CU/MSU/WSU and still have to go on the road to play InSU (who I'm not ready to give up on yet).

Not sure what to think of IlSU and UE.

My guess is BU/SIU/DU/UE

Bradley is winning more games than MSU from here on out. Good call.

You're entitled to your opinion, but what has Missouri State done to make you think we are going to go 4-9 the rest of the MVC schedule?

Lack of scoring, mostly. The forecast records were derived by comparing each team's average points per game. Low-scoring teams like MSU and UNI lost out. (I have UNI at 9-9)
