This isn’t right, Yak absolutely deserved another year. Did the UIC administration think that they’d go from a middle/bottom Horizon League team to a contender in the Valley, just 2 years later?

I’m not in the “Loyola was criminally under-seeded camp.” Could have made a case for a better seed, but best wins all season came vs Drake, and both without Drake’s leading scorer. Losses to two tourney teams (Wisconsin and Drake) and two non-tourney teams (Richmond and Ind St)

Never a doubt. Won this game, mostly to effort in the 2nd half. Outworked Bradley at every turn. Only complaint is that I’m sick of spotting inferior teams double digit leads and having to comeback. With all that said… Love this team.

Big win for Bradley. Took care of business at home and swept Drake. If you were a “Top-4” believer, better make that 5. Bradley is real and will be in the mix when we get to St. Louis. Btw, tough loss for Drake, but don’t write them off, this isn’t the end for this team.
