Rowand44 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Here's what we got: Thursday, March 7 Game 1: Indiana St. (14-15) vs. Wichita St. (11-19), 6:05 p.m. Game 2: Missouri St. (16-15) vs. Evansville (9-20), 8:35 p.m. Friday, March 8 Game 3: Drake (25-4) vs. Winner Game 1, 12:05 p.m. Game 4: Creighton (20-9) vs. Bradley (17-14), 2:35 p.m. Game 5: Illinois St. (22-8) vs. Winner Game 2, 6:05 p.m. Game 6: SIU (17-13) vs. Northern Iowa (17-13), 8:35 p.m. Saturday, March 9 Game 7: Winner Game 3 vs. Winner Game 4, 1:35 p.m. Game 8: Winner Game 5 vs. Winner Game 6. 4:05 p.m. Sunday, March 10 Game 9: Winner Game 7 vs. Winner Game 8, 1:05 p.m. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Always a real fun tournament and I'll be there for the 3rd straight year. The 1 seed hasn't won in a decade and don't expect any different this year. If I had to guess right now I'd go with a Bradley-IlSU final with Bradley getting the auto bid. Obviously I'm hoping to be wrong and would love to see SIU make a run but this team is too ridiculous to do so imo. That being said, GO DAWGS!

Brian Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Think most or all of these games will be on Comcast in Chicago. Of course SIU plays at night so I'm sure they will be pre-empted by the Bulls or Hawks. Bastages! I think Il State wins this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'll root for whoever is going to be making the tournament anyway. No upsets please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Hose Jon Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I really hope ISU can get the win over mo st. I honestly think that if they dont win that game the selection committe will screw them over. If only we could have hung on instead of pissing away leads in the two drake games. Since the talent of ISU is young, you dont know what team is going to show up. I hope that a strong showing in the tourniment will mean that the mentally tough team shows up for the NCAA's. Cause that is a team that can do some damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxWS05 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The way this season has been going, I can see SIU taking it home. Drake will not win, ISU will not beat SIU three times in one year. C'mon dawgs, make it 7 straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxWS05 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 We got SIU's number this year, hopefully ISU has manhandled SIU this year, but SIU also has the experience to win arch madness, something ISU lacks. Plus, it's very difficult to beat any team three times in one year. Hopefully we meet in the semi's find out. Who knows, SIU will probably lose to Evansville first. I think ISU is in no matter what they do this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonik22 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I think the Final will be SIU vs. Bradley, but any of Creighton, Bradley, SIU, ISU, or Drake has the chance of taking this! Go Salukis baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 MVC games are on Comcast this afternoon. Of course the Blackhawks play tonight so the SIU game isn't on there. Not sure if it will be on another channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Those of us far enough south to get Fox Sports Net Midwest will be watching the both games tonight. Drake currently up 50-38 over Indiana State about 10:00 minutes left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 On Comcast in Chicago, there is an MVC game listed at 1am. Not sure if it will be the SIU replay or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxWS05 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Drake is up 20 with less then 4:00 in the game. It's pretty safe to say this one is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) What a terrible decision by Bradley to go for 2 there, they deserved what they got in losing just for doing something that stupid alone. Creighton, as usual, looking dangerous in Arch Madness, and in this case, they are desperately trying to get wins as they are firmly on the bubble. I'd say they were done if they lost today, and they'll still have to beat Drake now on Saturday to have any shot at getting in IMO. But yeah, Creighton 74, Bradley 70 is the final.

The Bones Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Illinois State advances 63-58 over Missouri State...whew. Good to see we can still win on an off night. That might be enough to assure a spot in the tourney but I wouldn't mind winning tomorrow and Sunday just to be sure.
