With the 5-4 PACK playing each other...
8-2
6-4
6-4
6-4
5-5
5-5
ISUred will be 5-5 or 4-6
EVille (I picked to win) 4-6
UNI (lose) 3-7
Valpo will be 2-8 or 3-7

No prediction.

I am thinking we want LUC, Drake, MSU and INSU to win. And us of course (ok maybe not us for a few here). The 5-4 pack is hard to call. I am hoping for the home teams in this group because a road win would be a leg up for that team.

 

[Redbirds4Life]

I would say this is a must win if the Birds want to get out of playing on Thursday....

btw, super happy we have a night game on a weekend again, kinda bummed its at 9pm

Period.

ESPN2. Moving up the TV food chain usually doesn’t serve ISU well. Certainly, we can beat Valpo at home. Probably easiest game left on our schedule.

Any idea why Valpo vs ISU would be televised by ESPN2? Don't they have some 30 for 30 reruns they could put on? I could understand it more if we were playing Loyala or MSU....

 

[Rollbirds]

ESPN2 probably had this set to air long before they knew both teams were so bad and with 9 NCAA tournament appearances between 1996-2015 Valpo is much more recognized nationally than either Loyola or Mo. State.

Just trying to fill the 9:00 time slot I guess.

Nothing is going to come easy this year.

Thankfully this game is at home as another road blowout that is televised would not be good. Hopefully most of lower bowl is filled.

Great day of college basketball. Duke/Va. Sprinkle in the Big 12/SEC Challenge and it has a 2nd weekend Big Dance feel. ISU/Valpo the cherry on top.

Have a birthday dinner starting at 8:00 and love that watching games on iPhone is now easy and functional. Just gotta stay away from sitting by the birthday man!

Anyone interested in attending the Uni vs Loyola game tomorrow? Have xtra ticket that should be close to the action so send pm if interested

Edit....I can likely get another ticket as well if someone needs 2 so just let me know sooner than later and be aware that you will likely be sitting with loyola player's friends and families so try not to come looking like Reggie Redbird.

Imagine what this message board would look like if we had the expectations Missouri State did and were playing like them.

Hinson up 11 at half in Springfield.

Salukis shooting 73.9% from the field.

 

[SgtHulka]

Salukis have led the whole way. 64-57. 8 to go.

Ugly pugs are looking good. Smithpeter is a beast!
