Re: 2019 Midwest Regional
Originally posted by Knightmoves View PostI don't believe in jinxes, so I'll just say it...BU is not the same team that USI saw the last two times. If the Knights play well, they win going away. I give USI credit for two gritty wins, but they made up for a lack of execution with determination, which is great, but won't be enough against BU. BU wins 80-65.

Woo hoo! Wod to the E8!
As for going D1, they're following the exact same path NKU did. Build a big new arena, play in it a year or two, jump to D1. There's no other reason a public D2 school would pump THAT much money into that arena

Re: 2019 Midwest Regional
Let's simulate the tournament with Massey, considering USI's games to be "home" games instead of neutral.
#4 Nova Southeastern 91 vs. #5 Saint Anselm 88, 58%
#1 Northwest Missouri State 71 vs. #8 Mercyhurst 55, 92%
#2 West Texas A&M 79 at #7 Southern Indiana 77, 57% (I smell an upset on this one!!!)
#3 Queens, N.C. 78 vs. #6 Point Loma 81, 57%
Thursday, March 28
#1 Northwest Missouri State 91 vs. #4 Nova Southeastern 79, 86%
#2 West Texas A&M 77 vs. #6 Point Loma 74, 59%
Saturday, March 30
#1 Northwest Missouri State 78 vs. #2 West Texas A&M 69, 80%
For the sake of argument, if USI pulls off the WT upset, that makes the remaining games look like this:
#6 Point Loma 74 at #7 Southern Indiana 75, 52%
and then
#1 Northwest Missouri State 78 at #7 Southern Indiana 67, 84%

Re: 2019 Midwest Regional
I'd agree that Watson was lucky to get Stein. However, I'll also go out on a limb here in saying that with USI winning the regional (potentially winning a couple more?), building a new stadium, and the EVV Sports Corp locking in the E8 in Evansville until 2022, we may see a better recruiting class coming in next season. Not necessarily saying that Watson has anything to do with it, but there are a lot of factors there that make USIBB pretty attractive to prospective athletes.

Re: 2019 Midwest Regional
We got 2 starters already in the fold with the redshirt Simmons, who should be an absolute monster in this league. And then the Carpenter kid who has nice size and can stretch defenses with his outside shot. Coyle redshirting allows him to be game ready and he will provide depth at the guard. We should be damn good next year.
