After today's debacle against WSU, I'd be surprised if they get a bid. Terrible performance on National TV, capped by a Johnny Manziel wannabe Hawkins getting ejected.

So where do the Valley teams go? WSU to NCAA, Illinois St to NIT, Loyola to CIT? Does SIU or UNI go anywhere? CBI or Vegas 16?

ISUr didn't pass the eye test, I'm afraid.

SIU said no poatseason.

I think the ISUr lacked character...made some poor personnel decisions, essentially selling their soul to the devil?????

Nothing would make me happier than for ISUr to miss the dance. You can put that squarely on the shoulders of Johnny Manziel.

SIU said no because they don't have the money with the budget crunch

Wow. So only three Valley teams in post season play and only 2 in a tournament that you don't have to pay to be in.

Graddy and Natey said it best---WSU at least played it straight--Red was character bad at season's onset and worse at the end !! It was neat that WSU smacked them--Character usually shows in this situation---Red showed its rotten character--Good riddance !! Ooops ! WE MUST ENDURE THAT JUNK AGAIN NEXT YEAR,

Good luck AND all the best TO WICHITA STATE !! Depending on seed, they should win a game or two. Would that it could have been LUC BUT we were and are NOT GOOD ENOUGH YET--Maybe soon !

ISUr left out. To quote our President, "Sad."

I'm throwing up a Johnny Manziel for them. RIP Birds.

I'm not crying for the birds, but it's not great for the league when a team can go 17-1 and not make the tournament. Might as well be in the Horizon.

It absolutely sucks for the league. I just am starting to loathe ISUr.
