North Texas #14 vs Southern Illinois #3 -- Columbus, Ohio

you know, not dropping that game to UTA and playing Nebraska closer (or even a win) would have probably made that possible (though still a pipe dream, and by "pipe dream" i mean "massive bong rip").

By the way, Nebraska managed to score 39 points in their game last night. Looks like they are about as adept offensively on the basketball court as they are on the football field.

Crazy, for sure. A few days after the two mangled in an 80+ point victory for the Huskers. Give credit for Okie State for turning it around. I remember last year UAB threw up a 37-point egg in El Paso amongst a nice run of 70 - 80+ point wins, including at Memphis late in the season.

I watched Western Kentucky play S. Ill earlier this season. WKU lost by 5. Great game too! I actually think we could run with S. Illinois given how well WKU played against them. I seem to recall thinking that S. Ill was a very quick team. Though I know this will be a VERY tough game, but I want this match up! It has upset written all over it.

If we got SIll in the draw I would probably wet myself with excitement. That is a team we could beat.

Collegehoops.net has us as a #16 playing against Wisconsin. That's one I haven't heard yet. The bracketologists must be close to exhausting all combinations of us as a 14,15 or 16 and playing someone in the top 10 by now.

Can't wait for Sunday at 5.
