Couldn't get away this weekend, unless Loyola makes the final and I decide to cannonball it down there Sunday morning.

Not convinced I'll be motivated enough to do that though.

They could get two if other conferences knock off their bubble teams. Washington and the winner.

Im rooting for a bubble team, according to Joe lunardi today.

I had to look it up...it was actually 3 years ago already. But yeah, buzzer-beater loss to UNI. He's probably still there if that doesn't happen.

Well, if this didn't happen first.

Lipscomb vs Liberty for the ASUN bid is going to be a fantastic game.

Hopefully this 2nd half is a bit easier on the eyes than the 1st. Illinois State is trying their damndest to play down to Evansville's level.

Evansville just cut an 11 point lead for Illinois State to 1. Same two-faced Redbirds as all season.

Entertaining, but ugly 65-60 win for Illinois State. They went to the line 30 times, Evansville shot under 30% from the field, and it was still a grind. Weird team to figure out.

Trying to decide what games to show my class today since I do not want to give them any homework this weekend. The hard thing is these idiots dont know about Valpo or Loyola. So may have to show them a Youtube NCAA Classic game.

I went to Arch Madness last year and had a blast. Wish I could go again this year

I got to know about Sister Jean and Loyola before the nation did

Also excited for the OVC tourney. Last year was tame but usually the Friday Night Semifinals in the OVC are hectic
