Well, we should be entering the "failure" bracket as a favorite--BUT , if emotion is a factor, Braves will have the edge. Maybe our guys --injured ONCE AGAIN--can give it another shot. ( Please do NOT tell me that others get or have injuries--I do NOT care. This is all about LOYOLA OF CHICAGO !!
Laying it on the line--Porter and the members of this team are or should be stepping stones--So far our team has failed.
Next year now will be more difficult because of this.
--Having said this , our guys deserve a win tomorrow AND if they play well--that is, to their talent, they will.

I say Ramblers 70 Braves 60 !!

Loyola: 72
Bradley: 66


Wichita State: 84
Loyola: 68

Final LU record: 15-17


Arch Madness Championship prediction: Wichita State over Illinois State

MVC Post-Season Teams:
NCAA: Wichita State (out in 2nd round)
NIT: Evansville
Vegas 16: Illinois State
CBI: Southern Illinois
CIT: Northern Iowa

NCAA Champion:
Michigan State

WOW Ramb !! Nice analysis. I hope all your picks for post season work out for the good of the Valley. LUC should be in a tourney BUT we and Porter FAILED !
Our team was as reported , soft !! Indeed they were--They played as well as they could except for the last game against DRAKE--They quit.

WE SHALL be back , and hopefully better --but its doubtful --at least until the Admin allows Watson to go all out.

I see that the game is on MVC TV Network!?!? Can anyone confirm where that can be found? Is that like ESPN3 where it's on the internet? Thanks for the help.

Loyola: 62
Braves: 56

Does anyone know where I will be able to pick up my Loyola shirt and scarf tomorrow?

alap3 last year they were handing them out at the hotel ....???????

Thanks. Ill check there. It's my first year going down so I wasn't for sure.

alpa3...I would look for Brian Day, ticket manager or Pat Schultz in charge of event day promotion. Also last year there was a pep rally at the hotel which was really well attended and cool.That is when I got my scarf..I am sure they will have the same type of send off at the hotel this year. Even though this was a disappointing season I hope we show the same kind of enthusiasm at Arch Madness as we did last year.

MVC TV Network = Fox Sports Midwest, Comcast Sportsnet, Fox Sports Indiana, etc.

The game is listed on ESPN 3 but is "subject to blackout".

Unfortunately there's a pro game on Comcast tonight so we are stuck on Comcast Sportsnet Plus, which at least on my system isn't in HD.

I'd go with all of this except Northern Iowa in the CIT-- I think they'll pass. And Evansville is going to have to maybe get to the Arch Madness final to get a lower NIT seed.
