Birds open today against Missouri State, who is hosting the tournament. Loser is eliminated, winner goes to the double elimination bracket starting tomorrow.
SIU snags the top seed, but Dallas Baptist is the favorite. DBU was in the running for a regional host before slipping up during conference play and should be safely in regardless of outcome. ISU has shown the ability to play with top teams (and the ability to lose to bad ones), and it isn't crazy to dream of a run here. Go Birds!
