Are we sure that we won’t be placed in a First Four game? I think we deserve to not be there, but I also know that it would be appealing ratings-wise to pair Loyola in a First Four game, especially against a Power 5 school.

We definitely won’t be in the first four. the First Four consists of eight teams — the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers, and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams. We avoid the first four since we’re an automatic qualifier.

That's not a very astute observation!

Ha!!! I’ll take 1 for 2

I'd be thrilled to bat .500 in the astute observation department. Not to brag, but my prediction that Chris Knight would have a breakout game against Drake was right on the money.

Next time for sure he’s due for one lol

I don't wish ill on Moser but I don't mind that we are in this year and Oklahoma most likely is not.

After the OU win v Baylor they might just squeak into the field.

I think so as well.

CBS currently has us as an 11 playing Alabama. I like that matchup a lot. It would be great if it happened and was in Milwaukee, with other midwest schools in the pod.

Sooners fall to Tech. Don’t think they’ve done enough for an at large, least they shouldn’t be considered with an 18-15 (7-11) record. No ill will to Porter, but am glad we made it and he didn’t this year.
