UNI is now an absolute lock for Thursday. I'm hoping we do it right and get the 10 seed.

I feel like it has been a lot of years since the 10th seed was not a team who was about to fire their coach... I don't think either Valpo or UNI is in danger of making a change.

No, both should be fine, but I sure hope one of the Thursday teams is planning on it.

Since Drake and Bradley appear to be escaping it this year, does Drake Night now become Marty Night?

Don't count Bradley out of Thursday quite yet. They have a tough stretch in front of them. I have a gut feeling the ISUb @ Bradley game to end the season will be to stay out of Thursday night.

About what I figured here today for the Birds. No Evans and Fayne is going to be a problem for us these final few games.

This game is UGLY. Clarence is definitely showing signs of growth though!

I would like to make a revision for Sunday based on Fayne's injury and still no Evans...

Redbirds @ Crusaders CRUSADERS


Glad I changed my pick. No brainer without 30 ppg playing on the road

Not surprised by the outcome of ISUr vs Valpo game. Nice win for the Crusaders.

Extremely disappointed in how this game looked on ESPNU. Maybe 2000 fans...with a nice showing of Redbirds fans. They play in a gym not an arena. The student section was essentially empty. I could actually hear fans encouraging the Birds ....at a road game... in the Valley!

In defense of Valpo, the conditions were bad and the campus was layered in snow.
