March 8, 200620 yr NIU holds the #2 seed in this tournament and opens against Toledo Thursday morning at 11 AM. NIU hasn't played since Sunday afternoon, while Toledo had to play Tuesday night to advance to this game. The top seed and heavy favorite is Kent State. Akron is probably the #2 most likely team to win, as even though they are only the #3 seed, they beat NIU head to head and finished with a better record in the league overall. I've been a big Illinois fan since birth, but as a NIU student who actually knows a couple players on the b-ball team you know I gotta say GO HUSKIES!
March 8, 200620 yr Definitely cheering for NIU, I got a feeling though that Ohio is finally going to wake up and make some noise in this tourny.

If it's not a great battle between Kent State and Akron for the title, I'd be shocked. They are BY FAR the 2 best teams, and Ohio hasn't been the same without Fears.
