We will have to be MUCH better to beat GB even if Reynolds doesn’t play Saturday. They are going to absolutely bring it and I hope we are ready. We will have to be MUCH better to beat Mercy on Tuesday. The guys should be embarrassed with their lackluster and sloppy performance tonight. When I’m this critical of the team after the game, I’ll try to say something positive. Freeman played pretty well and Learic had a nice run in there when we built up the lead.

Yeah one of you is gonna have to run this stupid conference tournament scenarios. Can we get the 4 seed still?

I believe that Wright State loss is big, too. Working through all the permutations. It’s big in that if Milwaukee lost tonight, we’d be the 8 seed with a loss to Green Bay (assuming the Mastodons beat RMU and CSU beats IUPUI. We are a game behind WSU and NKU but they both have tie breakers on us (Wright State and Northern Kentucky both beat Oakland). Since Milwaukee has the tiebreaker against the two teams a game behind them (PFW and CSU), we clinch the 6 seed. Green Bay has the tie breaker against YSU, so they get a 2 seed with a win on Saturday. With a loss, they drop to 3 or 4.

In other words, we get a first-round home game but are on the road for the quarterfinals.

Pretty sure we're locked in as the #6 seed against Detroit in round one.

Yeah one of you is gonna have to run this stupid conference tournament scenarios. Can we get the 4 seed still? First of all, conference tournament scenarios are not stupid. Wash your mouth out with soap for saying that. Second, not only is Milwaukee out of the running for the 4 seed, they are out of the running for the 5 seed. We lose tie breakers to both WSU and NKU. We will be playing Mercy, barring Mercy beating Oakland on Saturday. If we win that game, here are the scenarios for the 3 seed: GB wins, they get the 2 seed. YSU gets the 3 seed. Winner of NKU/WSU gets the 4 seed. Loser gets the 5 seed. MKE wins, then YSU gets the 2 seed. The WSU/NKU game on Saturday determines seeds 3-5. If WSU beats NKU, Green Bay gets the 3 seed, WSU gets the 4 seed, NKU gets the 5 seed. If NKU beats WSU, NKU gets the 3 seed, GB gets the 4 seed, WSU gets the 5 seed. I am working this all in my head, so I could be wrong on something. I suppose I could use the “what if” machine (which is what I’m going to call the Excel spreadsheet) to figure it out for sure, but I have a few things to do before I want to sign on my computer.

I mean the format is stupid, one of the worst in CBB.

I mean the format is stupid, one of the worst in CBB. The league could do better. Give a two round bye for first and a one round bye for 2nd and 3rd. Everyone else plays in the first round. But this format is pretty standard, to be honest.

But this format is pretty standard, to be honest. Playing them in Indy is stupid as f***, and the last two rounds midweek is even worse. Id knock out the lowest standing team

Lundy on the post-game radio:
Said we didn't overlook IUPUI, but the guys are excited for Saturday.
Going to have to get students at the game. Most I talk to don't know when we play.
Get to Goolsby's for a free ticket when buying a $4 beer. We know some won't buy a ticket but will buy a beer.

I know it’s Green Bay and it’s going to be one of the highest attended games in years but is it worth playing Freeman or anyone for that matter heavy minutes? We are locked into the 6 seed and given the tournament starts Tuesday and we’d play 4 games in a week if we make the championship I just don’t know if it’s worth it as much as I don’t like saying that.

That thought crossed my mind too. Maybe play Gelo and Ham bigger minutes on senior day and let some of our top players rest a bit. I don’t foresee Lundy doing that though. It may be the best move on paper, but I feel like it would harm team morale.
