I will take Redbirds and Loyola. With that said, it would not shock me to see UE keep this game close and pull it out. Nor would it shock me to see UE lose by 15

ISU wins big.

Loyola wins a close one.

Redbirds win by double digits but i think Evansville makes them work more than they'd like for the first 25.

Loyola wins close as i try to fend off a heart attack.

Birds by about 17, I think this game is close till about 10 min left, then Evansville will run out of gas and ISU should pull away. Evansville did give ISU some fits when they played at Evansville, but that game was without MiKyle.

Salukis by 1. I think this is the tightest game of the Quarter-Finals. After hearing O'Brien and Rodriguez, they know this is their last shot to make the big dance, and I think they make enough plays down the stretch to win. It is a pick'em game, that could realistically go either way.

I'll take the Redbirds and Salukis

ISUr is just too powerful for UE. However UE for sure could make a game out of it. Illinois St by 15

SIU, i feel they have been just a step ahead of Loyola when they have played each other this season. I think O'Brien will have a great game. SIU by 5

Shooting 44% from 3 is the equivalent of shooting 66% from 2. An offense built on mid range jumpers just will not get things done.

It was obvious the last minute UE doesn't have any set plays to get an open 3. Jaylon Brown dribbling 10 times and shooting a contested shot doesn't count as a play, imo.

The best thing about this season is that the sub 500 record means we won't have to waste money on the CIT.
