Win on Thursday, lose on Friday...

1)  Lowry can definitely inspire these guys for the tourney.  2) They are not expected to win 3) When you have a young team with talented individuals anything can happen  4) They are too young to know any better and have nothing to lose.  I predict SIU going to the championship game but losing to Creighton.  Long shot I know but darn it, people like me.

My heart wants to agree with you Gadget, but common sense is telling me that salukihoops' prediction is more likely. You list some good points and I myself was hopeful in our chances until are recent slump. Maybe we can catch fire when it counts. Lets hope you're right.

After the thrilling win over Drake, I'll go ahead and revise my prediction a bit.

I think SIU will pull out a home win on Sat, and get into the top 6.

They'll need to get help to move into the 5 spot though, if not they'll finish 6th and play ISU in the first round... not a good match-up.

So, if they get to 5th I say they WIN on Friday... if not... I'll stick to my previous prediction of a Friday knockout.
