Sounds like McDermontt is staying at Creighton with a new extension. 

Always felt like that was the endgame here. Dude’s, what, 60? Good coach, a program that can win in a good conference, a great fan base that’s not nuts, the only reasons you leave are money or not wanting to die in Omaha.

Sycamores up 3 at half.   Let them back in the game.    Isu lack of depth is biting them in the last half of the season.   They looked gassed

What ball movement by ISU on that play.

#5 for MO State loves that forearm shiver. Yikes. Only called for 1 offensive foul.

Solid 2nd half. Has to put them in an almost "lock" position at this point.

No unfortunately being a mid major there will be no lock position for them.    They have to make it to the finals to even have a chance at an at-large if they lose.   The Illinois st home loss was killer.   I wouldn’t put it in the hands of the committee because I’ve seen mid majors get screwed year after year.    Hopefully committee takes Kent being out of the S Illinois game and most the Illinois st game in consideration if they lose tomorrow or Sunday 

Belmont 2019 got an at-large bid with a similar resume but I wouldn’t give the committee the chance to leave them out

Think it helps or hurts to have Arch Madness a week before selection day? My gut would say helps because the final isn't happening 20 minutes before they release the bracket?

It might help a little but it’s brutal for the coaches and kids to have to wait it out a full week not knowing are you in or out.    Conference Tourney games after Friday before selection Sunday  historically doesn’t really get taken into account for the final bracket.    I think the attention the team has gotten nationally for most of the year will play a factor if it comes to that plus their metrics are all really good.  Hard for me to view their resume objectively because I want them in and I will talk myself into anything to put them in.    They just need to win 2 more.  I will say this if they do get an at-large my guess is I will be watching them in Dayton live.  My gut tells me they will just put them in the First 4 if it comes to that

Might be having a mod meetup if they get sent to Dayton. Not sure I could pass that up. Ideally they just win the thing though.

Problem is once they are done playing they have no more opportunities.   Mid majors get a limited amount of chances for quality wins and they play more terrible teams with a slimmer margin of error.   A middle of the pack high major can get on a run in their conference tourney and play just as many Q1 games in 3 days then mid majors get in a whole year plus if they lose to another middle high major team at home it won’t hurt as bad NET wise unless it’s Louisville or DePaul.   I think they should be in regardless but that’s just me

Arch Madness always delivers 

N Iowa up 1 with 11:20 to go

Agree completely. As long as the 3's are dropping they're fine. Robbie got smacked around today as well. Got blocked at 3 or 4 times. He bounces back tomorrow they should be fine.

I plan on making it a long weekend in the next couple of years.  Would be a great tourney to watch in person!

2:30 tomorrow eastern or central time? Assume central, since I was watching nbc Chicago.

[Uspshoosier 44,355]

Drake is rolling right now.  Up 18 with 40 sec to go in the half.   I hope we get round 3 of Drake/ISU 

[Uspshoosier 44,355]

UNC Asheville with a huge shot to go up 3 over Charleston So.   Asheville is the 2 seed of the Big  South and was trailing most the game to the 7 seed.
