Couple of Missouri Valley teams, ISU/Evansville, currently beyond the bubble http://kenpom.com/ needing to win today/championship runs in the MVC
tourney to make the NCAA playing quality hoops on comcast.

MVC should get 2 in the tournment and at maybe two in the NIT. ISU had a pretty good start but got
chewed up in conference. I didn't see any games but judging by the scores they appear to be a
little like the Illini in the fact that they either have it or they don't. I did read an article on si.com
last week and the college basketball expert admitted that they are a team he wouldn't want to have
to face in the first round of a tournament.

I can't watch these games anymore with the way my Salukis have fallen under Chris Lowery... Weber good, Painter good, but when Lowery agrees to a long term extension, that should raise some red flags. SIU is not Butler. You don't build a legacy there.

Hopefully Hinson can turn it around in a couple of years.

The only thing that keeps Wichita St and Creighton out of the big dance, is if a bum wins the conference tournament. I expect both teams to be seeded between 8 and 10.

Watch the selection committee screw the mid-majors by making them play each other in the first round. I don't think they want to see Butler or VCU in the Final Four anymore.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Those are the two I assumed were in. They have 4 teams in the conference with at least 17 wins so two of
those should make it to the NIT. It is a strong mid major conference this year.

Why the hell is Evansville called the Purple Aces? I'll hang up and listen for my answer.

Horrible.

Boy that was even worse than I could have imagined. On the upside though I am going to start calling my penis Ace Purple. So the day wasn't a total loss.
