March 2, 201016 yr Alright It's that time of the year again. Go Redbirds! Anyone else besides Rowand44 and I going to be making an appearance? I'm hoping the Salukis come up with a miracle against UNI.

March 2, 201016 yr I usually go to SIU's games, but probably won't make it Thursday night and noon on Friday will be tough for me. Are you guys coming from out of town getting motels for the weekend or what?

Are you guys coming from out of town getting motels for the weekend or what? I am. I'm getting there around 1pm on Friday since the Birds don't play until 830. Staying at the Holiday Inn downtown. It's a step down. Last year I was at the Hilton downtown. It was way too classy for us.
March 3, 201016 yr If the birds making it to Sunday, some friends and I are going to drive down. But we couldn't find enough people who wanted to go the whole weekend worth it money wise.

After that, we knew we wanted to go for the whole weekend. Hopefully we can make it to sunday so you get to see the redbirds win the damn thing.

Ya, I'll be back at home then too so i want the 5 hour drive to be worth it.
March 4, 201016 yr I dont know how many of you have Comcast in chicago, but I have a weird thing I am seeing. When games are considered local (Illinois state, Bradley, sometimes even Evansville) they will be played on Comcast channel 101. Right now if I look at the regular guide, it has nothing. However, if I hit the guide twice to display all of the shows for that particular channel, the MVC tournament is listed as a show coming up. Is the (yuck) play-in game going to be on tonite?

No. The play in games are never televised. We have to hope to win tonight and then we'll be on tv tomorrow.
March 4, 201016 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 01:57 PM) I hate CLo even more now Ya just the last two games tomorrow night are on 101 I think. Since the hawks are on CSN.
March 4, 201016 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Anyone else care to make predictions on this? SIU over Drake Evansville over MoState UNI over SIU Bradley over Creighton Wichita State over Evansville Illinois State over Indiana State UNI over Bradley Illinois State over Wichita State Illinois State playing UNI I refuse to predict this game. I'm too superstitious.
March 5, 201016 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 4, 2010 -> 07:51 PM) This seems to be setting up perfectly for another heart breaking loss. Heh unreal. Great f***in season assholes.
March 5, 201016 yr I had this horrible nightmare that SIU lost THREE TIMES to Drake this year. Thank God it was just a nightmare...
March 5, 201016 yr Let's go UNI! You haven't been playing well lately but get some momentum going into the NCAA tournament.
March 5, 201016 yr Well since no one mentioned it Missouri State won the other play in game 52-46. Drake vs UNI 12:05 Creighton vs Bradley 2:35 Wichita State vs Missouri State 6:05 Illinois State vs Indiana State 8:35
