12 months ago, Cliff Smart declared “if the fans want to drop out next year, they can....we will welcome them back when we are going to the NCAA”.

Fast forward 8 months, the press coronated MSU and UNI #1 and #2. The MVC concurred - scheduling the two for the final day of the season anticipating a Missouri Valley title on the line.

But a senioritis spiral and cryotherapy curse spoiled dreams. ESPN washed its hands of the two for ILST/Loyola. And CBS Sports kicked the two to espn3 for INST/Bradley. Now the two preseason princes bookend Thursday night, kicking off with a Purple Party.

I would say .... But I've got plenty.

It does appear that it will be Missouri State as the 7 seed... God this is depressing to play on Thursday. The day formerly known as Drake Night, now known as Lusk Night.

Taylor with a game not unlike Milton Doyle’s last year. 2 points. Dru Smith is a top 15 player in this league.

UE AD should have the two guys in the purple/orange spandex suits with opposite color hats run the student section next year.

Aces purposefully fouling with 7 ticks on the shot clock under 2 minutes left.

Might be an emotional night in the Simmons’ household.

Panthers 60
Aces 50

Sugar Bears and Alize Johnson redeeming the price of admission (22/17 right now).

Mvc should know AST>STL for useful scoreboard stats but free, workable wifi is a great touch.
