Like the current format. We are in the second round and the teams with Bad Records are gone. Whereas in at least the second round of the CIAA and Big South tournaments teams with losing records are still playing. Think it is fair for teams with the better records to get home games against the weaker teams. This avoids the 2002 scenario where #1 Seed Butler lost its opening game on a Neutral Court to #8 or #9 seed GB. to be fair, the 5 seed in the Big South tourney had a losing record...the Horizon is just a much better conference |

They were going to be a 15/16 seed, get their ass kicked and go home. They need to understand that the Horizon is different. Great point, but ironically Valpo has a good chance at a 15 seed if they're able to win the HL Tournament. |

I disagree. Especially if butler wins. The selection committee claims that they don't look at past years team and conference performance. But I think they do.

Well looks like our dream of another title game in Mke is drifting away. Detroit up big

Youngstown has only made 2 3-pointers. They've made 44% of their shots, but turnovers are 10-3 right now and Detroit is shooting 67%.
Detroit can't shoot 67% for an entire game, nor do I expect them to continue to hold onto the ball as well as they have. Youngstown still has a chance, especially if the 3-ball starts to fall. But they're in a ton of foul trouble.

Eargle has all 4 of YSU's offensive rebounds.
YSU is 3-10 from the line.

Detroit now sufficiently beating the tar out of Youngstown. Time to focus on Butler.

Detroit rolls by 17.
They could definitely beat CSU.

Detroit hasn't put up a performance like this in the entirety of Horizon League play. Youngstown got it to within 10 and kept it there for a while, but they couldn't play defense or make any 3-pointers.

Detroit just took out CSU.
Looks like they are finally playing like most thought they should've been from the beginning of the season.
Better now then never.

Refreshing to see a Horizon team play with confidence (and without their tails between their legs) against Butler in March.
