Barring an epic collapse by ISUs non con and WSUs non con winning out... I don't think it's possible

The birds seem extremely vulnerable right now. I almost expect them to lose one of these last two.

I'll wager you that at least half of them win on Thursday.

Tonight's WSU-UE game has some small seeding implications on a few more teams than just those involved.

With a WSU win:
*Evansville is eliminated from the #6 seed (previously 0.5% chance weighted, 4.7% unweighted), and locked into Thursday night
*Bradley is eliminated from the #6 seed (previously 0.3% chance weighted, 2.3% unweighted), and locked into Thursday night
*Missouri State is eliminated from the #7 seed (previously 0.8% chance weighted, 5.5% unweighted), and locked into Friday
*Loyola is eliminated from the #8 seed (previously 0.1% chance weighted, 3.1% unweighted)
*Drake and Loyola would be the only possible remaining Thursday-Friday flip (3.6% weighted chance, 12.5% unweighted) if Drake beats Loyola, Drake beats Bradley, and SIU beats Loyola

With a UE win:
*No teams are eliminated from potential seeds that are a current possibility, however many odds will change drastically due to the expected rarity of this outcome
