Whatever the outcome. The story of this game is the officials. The amount of fouls in this game that were called were RIDICULOUS. 34 made FTs for NIU saved them. We only shot 20 FT and they were just as physical. Did the conference want the game called this way to try to get two bids in NCAA? I mean come on, 39 FT shot by NIU. It Does not compute. I mean come on. We gave up over 100 points.
Our TO’s were God Awful all game (16) and if I am right, Norris had all 4 of his TOS in the second half.
Agree with you, but if they wanted 2 bids they would've been helping us win the game.
Not true. Lunardini has us in win or lose. If we lose to Bradley, we will be out. If we win one or two at Arch, we can still get in. He only had NIU in if they won today.
He had UNI "in" because they are 1st now so he has them as the auto-bid. They have zero chance at an at-large.
If your conspiracy was right, then the MVC would have wanted Loyola to win today. And then lose on Sunday in St. Louis.
