Why WON'T your team win Arch Madness?

Bush.

Milton Doyle has played 9 minutes in the last 7 weeks, and we will (most likely) have to beat the #3, #2, and #1-seeds in succession

Can't think of any.

And you're an Illinois State fan?

re: ISU blue:

1. Our MVC "Freshman of the Year" will spend 1/2 the game seated next to Lansing and forced to listen to his bitching;

2. Our big men (Gant & Kitchell) COMBINED will avg. less than 10 ppg & 6 reb;

3. Our back court (which includes the MVC's "Most Improved") will commit an avg. of 15 TO's/gm.

Doyle is at least playing again though correct? Loyola is a dark horse if he is healthy enough to have a positive impact on a game. He's such a talented player and really helped Loyola look like a real threat when healthy. It's a shame that he wasn't able to play for a larger portion of the season. The Ramblers could have easily been the #3 seed and another Top 100 team for the conference. Now we have to rely on Evansville getting to the Wichita St match-up just to have at chance at 4.

Yep, he's expected to play.

In the last regular season game vs Missouri St, Milton came in with about 10 minutes to play--his first action in about 7 weeks. The game was kind of a sluggish back and forth affair. From the moment Milton stepped on the court, the Ramblers took control of the game and ran away with it. He was involved in just about every scoring play somehow and looked as good as we've ever seen--no signs of rust whatsoever.

Really looking forward to seeing how he plays against ISUb. Hoping there isn't a minutes restriction on him and we can just let him loose.

On topic---Reasons LUC won't win:
1. Milton has a minutes restriction
2. ISUb shoots out of their minds from deep as they did in the two regular season matchups
3. Youth and lack of size

Because "Careless Whisper" by Wham! was the #1 song on the Billboard charts the last time we won a conference tournament. Really-- I just looked it up.

ISUr

1) ISU brings the wrong Reggie & the student 5'6" in the Redbird costume gets dominated in the post

2)The real Reggie shows up & some how records 6 fouls before the first TV timeout

3)Zach Lofton has tickets right behind the Redbird bench & heckles them into submission
