This would be a sweet pairing. Without a doubt ISU/Kansas would be the best attended match-up of the round.

I think we can play with about anybody, Michigan at Auburn Hills=not neutral court=not good. See Larrys Mich St game for reference.

I'm aware of what happened then but what better way to exercise those demons by beating Michigan there.

Would the committee schedule a same conference matchup that early in the tournament?

What's with the love for Indiana State? 14-8 and just lost to Drake, and I'm seeing them "in".

I think it's silly Lunardi is predicting ISU v. UNLV and winner to face Kansas (most likely)

Why do I find it silly? How often is it that a team faces a team they've already played the first two rounds of the tournament?

In addition, doesn't the committee try and make it so conference teams don't meet until the Sweet 16?

KRUSH Mizzou. Go Clones.

I saw that, and I'm guessing he is just throwing them in based on overall seed without regard to some of the finer details

I am beginning to think the bracketology people on the various sites are not overly bright and may have graduated from a sub standard school overseas. Some may not have played basketball. Some found a niche to lay in. Some of the predictions are real lame.

They've got a couple really good wins, over Miami and Mississippi on a nuetral court and against Witchita St on the road.

It may just be the McDoormat factor, but I don't get Creighton up so high after the Drake loss. They just chalking that up to the player who supposedly wasn't good enough to play for us being sick?

Also, losses to Illinois State (13-10), Southern Illinois (9-14), Drake (11-11) and Morehead State (11-13). That is a combination that would sink most.

All road losses. Their big nuetral site and road wins more than make up for that.

I guess we will see. I think it will take more. Perhaps if they beat either Creighton or Wichita State (again), and win the rest, they will be in, barring an early exit from the MVC tournament.

I wasn't stating an opinion. The 3 wins I listed count for 3.4 wins, while the 4 losses you listed only count as 2.4 losses. I don't think they will make the tournament when all is said and done, but their quality road/nuetral court wins and lack of bad home losses is why their RPI is that high.
