Well here we go. Vikes have a tough road but best wishes to team and coaches. Right now, PFW is the hottest team and like others have said, hope they get knocked off early. One thing I like about this team, they scrap every game (almost) :-)

If the seeds hold true (including CSU), we would face UIC, Wright State and PFW.
Last year there were upsets in every round so we faced the 10, 8 and 4 seeds.

I'm betting the 1st round will be fairly predictable. The 2nd round (quarter finals) on will be chaotic. Tt won't matter who faces who, the outcome will not be easy to determine.
According to WynnBet the HLT Odds:
Cleveland State +275
Oakland +375
Wright State +400
Northern Kentucky +500
IPFW +550
Detroit +1500
Youngstown State +3000
Illinois-Chicago +7500
Robert Morris +10000
Wisc-Milwaukee +20000
Wisc-Green Bay +30000
IUPUI +50000

I'm going Milwaukee and RMU as first round upsets.
Which would leave
10 RMU @ 1 CSU
9 UWM @ 2 IPFW
6 UDM @ 3 NKU
5 OAK @ 4 WSU
From there like gbanks said. Anything could happen.

Milwaukee getting to host is pretty huge. Maybe it pulls them to the win. Rather face a team we dominated twice then the team we didn't get a win against. I assume 5-6-7 will all mine the 10-11-12 teams are super weak this year.

IUPUI is only suiting 5 players tonight. Does any know if a IUPUI player fouls out, if the game is forfeited or does IUPUI play on with only 4 players on the floor?

Oakland is resting Jalen Moore tonight. Possible Trey Townsend too. Not that they will need those guys to beat IUPUI's entire roster of 5 players

A handful of years ago Alabama played with 3 players (Collin Sexton was one of them) after foul outs, injuries, and ejections. And they almost won. |

Looks like we will be playing Robert Morris.

Robert Morris it is. Can't ask for better than that for opening round though we barely won by 1 point at their place and had to fight them off at home. Still this is like their 7th division 1 win all year.

Can IUPUI do the unthinkable? They’re only down 5 with 16 to play.

Best game tonight by far in the Quarterfinals is Oakland @ Wright State. 4 of the best 5 of 6 players in the conference are in that game. Oakland really made things a lot more difficult on themselves since they started 9-1 in conference

WSU beats Oakland....Somehow, Oakland only had 1 assist in the game...how is that even possible? NKU rolls over Detroit, Ft Wayne sneaks by UIC. Vikes will play Wright State if they win tonight.

Had a 36-24 lead but let them end the half on a 6-0 run to stay close 36-30 at half. Too close for comfort CSU needs to put them away early in 2nd half.

Good win by the Vikes. Played with purpose.
It also appeared that Gates tighten the rotation tonight.

What a mess. The scoreboards have been malfunctioning for some time now. Tonight was a total embarrassment. Good thing it was the last game until next fall.
The number I saw for attendance was less than 3,000 but I thought it was the biggest crowd of the season, even larger than the IUPUI 4,000+. It was the most crowded I’ve felt at a game in ages. The energy was high at the start too and there actually was an audible student presence. The scoreboard delays definitely cut into the energy from the crowd but overall it was a good showing.
I thought the team played one of their better games in the last month or so. Solid D, forced turnovers, fast break points, moved the ball around and through the zone, drove to the basket, knocked down threes, made free throws. They pretty much handled every aspect of the game.
