In my defense, we did have a banner that identified us (women's basketball, I believe) as "Co-Champions" for many years in HC. I never understood that...
Why is that a "difficult" concept to grasp - The banner itself or including "co-"?

If we weren't in the race for a championship nobody would be bringing it up. If you don't see the point then don't participate in this particular discussion. We can comment on each game thread and just say go Sycamores and leave it at that.Gotta love all this calculating and analysis going on across all the threads of Sycamore Pride. I know these types of things are the latest rage in all sports. Great effort and many of these can be enlightening. But I still think the "eye test" reigns supreme. Watch the game, pay attention, and you'll probably be able to spot whose playing well -- not just scoring wise.
Kinda the same thing here with trying to figure out how all the standings will work out. When you're just looking at a couple teams in the final games of a season such discussion can be meaningful. But with 4 different teams, each with 4 games left, virtual identical records, and many factors from much earlier in the season at play ---- well don't really see the point in a "what do we have to do" discussion.
Real simple answer is for ISU to win its last four games. Its obvious we are as good as anybody in the league (Belmont's not shown to tower above anyone). Just win the remaining games, can't do anything else anyway.
Just win Baby !!!
He's fixed it now. There's a crazy 5 way tie where Belmont comes out on top despite losing to us.You can send that link to him if you've got time and he will update it.
I imagine it’s because Belmont has beaten Bradley twiceHe's fixed it now. There's a crazy 5 way tie where Belmont comes out on top despite losing to us.
Yup, unfortunately every team blew their load a time or two during the non-con and nobody got a real quality win. In the MVC's defense there wasn't too many opportunities to get quality wins either. I was just looking at Lansing's early years and our non-con, we wouldn't be able to get anything close to that this day and age; oh how the times have changed...The MVC might be the only conference this year with 5 or more regular season 20+ game winners that only gets one NCAA bid. (Assuming Belmont finds one more win)

Obviously wee need to win the last two games but we will need some help to win a share of the regular season title. We need Drake or Bradley (or both) to lose Wednesday. Then if only one of them lose then we need the one who loses to beat the other Sunday. Now if they were both to lose Wednesday we for sure control our own destiny.

Would be nice. Never gonna happen. Gonna get worse when they expand to 96 teams.The NCAA Tournament committee needs new rules. If you go under .500 in your conference, you should not be at-large eligible especially since they don't have to schedule or play OoC road games.
I've been advocating for years (not that I talk to anyone other than friends about college bball) that this is the rule that needs to be implemented to get the tourney to the way it was back in the 80s, 90s, 00s. If you can't go .500 in conference you don't deserve the opportunity to play for a national title. period. It will never happen because it is a direct attack on P5 schools.The NCAA Tournament committee needs new rules.
