Bad news for Missouri Valley

**banyon** · 03-09-2006, 12:30 PM

Syracuse 49 UCONN 39 15 min left

Gwash 34 Temple 42 14 min left

cements Syracuse's at-large bid. Gives another team a shot at eh A-10's auto bid.

I'm surprised at UCONN

15 minutes left, and this cements a bid? Ya know, KC kicked Philly's ass until there was 15 minutes left, and that 1 victory would have put us in the playoffs. does that count too?

UConn has played pretty luke warm recently, and had close calls against teams they shouldn't.

I wonder if it's just them looking ahead, or if teams have figured them out

I left out the (understood) "potentially" cements.

Apologies.

Update 65-61 Cuse 5 minutes. looks like coryt is right. sorry if I jumped the gun.

You still may be right, just that 15 minutes a long damn time.

And BTW, I think the Valley is gonna be dissappointed anyway. They keep hoping for 5 bids, I'm not convinced they'll get 4.

Wow what a big 3 by McNamara to take it to OT.

Gwash is done.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-09-2006, 01:13 PM

Go OWLS!

StcChief · 03-09-2006, 01:15 PM

Don't be dissing the Valley yet.

**banyon** · 03-09-2006, 01:30 PM

Cuse win in OT. Great game.

How secure are you SMS people feeling now? And the conference tourneys are just beginning...

I'm not dissing the Valley but a team like Mizz. St.'s bid is entirely dependent on how the major conferene tourneys go.

These two games did not go their way.

C'mon man... it's not "Mizzou State"

Mo. State or MO State (or, if you're a bitter b@st@rd like me, SMS).

Mizzou State not only is a trademark infringement and wrong, it's an oxymoron.

Mizzou is a blending of Missouri and State (because that's the original name of the university), so saying Mizz. State or Mizzou State is like saying "Missouri Missouri State"

Creighton won't be one of them.

ct · 03-09-2006, 01:55 PM

WSU, SIU, Bradley are in. SIU and Bradley are very tough draws, and could both win a game, maybe 2. WSU (I'm an alum, BTW), just has 1 and out written all over them I'm afraid. If they draw a big, tough, physical team, they're toast!

No.Iowa, SMS are still hopeful to get in, but I don't think SMS makes it. I also think N.Iowa will get left out, but they are a team that could win a game, and help solidify the valley rep, so I hope they do get in.

Creighton is NIT bound. They totally fell apart at the end, just like WSU last year.

So, WSU/SIU are locks. Bradley and UNI for the third and final spot?
