UNI has been the most consistent team in the league from start to finish so that is where my money is going to go.
That said, there are legitimately 5-6 teams that could win it depending on match ups, how they shoot and how the refs call their games. For example, if Loyola gets a crew that allows them to play their physical defense, they could easily run the table.

Same..I'd take the field over UNI, but if you made me take a single team I'd go with them...If we are fully healthy I actually like our chances as much as anyone else.

This basically sums up my opinion. 2 hot shooters or 2-4 untimely fouls could change any of the games
My bracket:
8 Drake over 9 ILST
7 Valpo over 10 UE
The Thursday games could go either way. I think it has been established that ILST and UE are the two worse teams so I am going to pick the favorites in those matchups.
1 UNI over 8 Drake
4 BU over 5 SIU
2 LUC over 7 Valpo
3 ISU over 6 MSU
Thursday teams won't win and SIU already peaked and doesn't match up well with Bradley. Our game is the most likely chance of an upset. Have a feeling we squeak one out against an inconsistent Bears squad.
4 Bradley over 1 UNI
2 Loyola over 3 ISU
UNI is not deep enough to win the tournament in my opinion. I like a healthy Bradley squad to pull the upset. In our game Loyola will be out for revenge.
2 Loyola over 4 Bradley
Loyola matches up well with Bradley and should win the championship game.

I hope we make it to Saturday. If we do, I'll be pleased. If it's not us, don't care who wins it.

I would like to congratulate Coach Lansing for a good season. We all jump on him when we lose but say nothing when we win.
Aside from us, and I like our chances, I think Bradley has a realistic road to the championship. SIU is on fumes right now and I think on paper they match up well with UNI. I could easily see a Bradley vs. ISU championship, and I think Bradley’s best is better than ours.
We have a really good shot at it though, so we should be confident going into Friday.

If you do not believe you can win it going in then why even show up ???? Sycamores all the way:sign-logo::sign-logo::sign-logo::sign-leaf::sign-leaf::sign-leaf::sign-leaf::sign-gosycamores::sign-sam::sign-marchon::sign-gobigblue::sign-fightbigblue::sign-gostatewin::gosycamores:
I have 2 all session passes for arch madness. I'm not going tomorrow. If anybody wants them, they're yours free.

You can't be serious. Say nothing when we win? There is post after post about how awesome Lansing is after the last four games.

Any updates on Jake? We need the JYD version on Friday IMO.
Lansing says he's still having spasms, he will play this weekend but less than he usually plays.
I say let the guy rest until he feels 100%. Yes, it will hurt out chances, but we gotta think long term with him.

I gotta thing that playing with it wont cause any more of a long term problem. no science behind my post
Start with the causation... then worry about long-term problems
if it's b/c of a muscle strain, play
herniated or ruptured disc(s)... potential long-term problems
