Oakland even with a win today is locked out of the top 4. What a fall from what many considered the favorite to win the league the night they knocked off CSU earlier this year.
PFW is locked into a top 4 even with a loss today would be 2 with a win. NKU is locked into a top 4 spot even with a loss a win could get them as high as 2 with a PFW loss.
Wright State win or a Detroit loss gets them into top 4 while Detroit needs a win plus a Wright State loss to get in top 4.
8-12 are all locked in place
8 UIC
9 Milw
10 Robert Morris
11 Green Bay
12 UIPUI
2-7 u for grabs in some form for the other teams

There’s talk on the Oakland board that Kampe may rest some starters today with their first round game coming on Tuesday.

PFW putting the smack down at Detroit up 16 right now. It seems that triple OT gift CSU gave them has given them life and they have not lost since. If they can win at Detroit this easily and we really were not in it there much it doesn't bode well for our chances at the tournament. Wright State and NKU have been playing well lately too. CSU may have the #1 seed but won't be the favorite to cut down the nets.

If they can win at Detroit this easily and we really were not in it there much it doesn't bode well for our chances at the tournament. Wright State and NKU have been playing well lately too. CSU may have the #1 seed but won't be the favorite to cut down the nets. PFW was on a 4 game winning streak heading into that game and was 10-3 since losing back-to-back games in Cleveland. They’re now 1-2 vs. CSU and 13-4 against everyone else. As for Wright State, they’re anything but playing well. After a 7 game winning streak ended in mid January they're 8-6, including 2-3 in their last 5. PFW and NKU are hot and should scare everyone. It would be best for CSU for those two teams to play each other as the 2 vs. 3. Detroit is scary at home but likely won’t host a game and we wouldn’t play them there even if they did. All other teams of note are coasting along at best (CSU/YSU) or trending downwards (WSU/Oak). |

CSU needs a win today otherwise it's another shared title just like last year.

Well that sucked. We were outplayed. And it felt like one of those games where things just don’t bounce your way. A couple 50/50 balls turned into 3 (or 4) points for them, and we had a couple calls that could’ve gone either way go against us (the Patton charge that could’ve been an and-one with the defender’s foot inside the line being one).
With the 5 game trip against some tough teams out of the way now, hopefully we can get right at home on Thursday and have things fall into place in Indy.

Not a good sign when you can't beat a team that every other team has been beating the last couple weeks. Could be a quick exit in the 1st game this year. Remember last year we were a miracle 3 point shot away from not even advancing past the 1st game.

PFW goes into the HLT with all the momentum and finishes strong.
The Vikes 5 on the road was not the best way to end; but, PFW finished with 4 on the road. So not an excuse for the Vikes.
The real season now starts, Vikes need to just win. Nothing else matters.

Maybe a bit of a wakeup call this week. Not the worst thing.
However, losing these two games makes a 16 seed possible if they win the HLT. Beating Oakland would have probably put them in the 15 seed slot. The one thing still in their favor is that this is a pretty crazy college basketball season. I could see a few .500 teams winning their conference tournament, which would put them at the 16 seeds and CSU up to 15.
We'll see.

Oakland maybe 14. All others are 16. The same site give the Vikes the highest chance of wining the HLT at 23%. Which means there is no clear cut choice for any team to win the HLT.
