I wished I had known about this earlier or I would have voted. Looking at the other regionals, some top seeds have been knocked off. Even though the SLU Crew has a #7 seed, I'm hoping they can make it to the Super 17!

I'm watching one of the TBT games online now. Just go to the website, click on bracket and there's a link 'Watch'. Click on it and you should see the game. In 12 minutes, we should see the matchup of two teams where the winner will be facing the SLU Crew.

Encouraging that the current team somehow managed to beat the Majerus SLU Crew twice?

I was discouraged by that, but you make a good point. We're talking about men versus boys.

The seeding is based on fan votes not necessarily the talent of the team. Unfortunately, SLU Crew's draw in the bracket isn't great. They have a chance, but it will be tough for them to get past Ants Alumni which is made up of players from an NBA D-League championship team. IMO the most likely result is that they win their 1st game and lose the 2nd.

The X factor is that you have no idea how much preparation each of these teams have done. Based on the PD article, we know the SLU Crew has at least practiced together and played pickup games. If they Ants players haven't actually played together since winning the D League, that could be an advantage for SLU Crew.

Here is an article about the Grantland team that was fairly loaded and lost. The article makes it sound as though lack of practice was a major factor. http://grantland.com/the-triangle/grantland-the-basketball-tournament/

Game is tomorrow at 12:30 pm CST at DePaul on campus arena? Is anyone else going? I'm thinking of attending and wearing my blue and white checkered pants which I haven't worn in over 2 years.

The team we play tomorrow had a 140 points today :blink:

Brandon Johnson had 48 points....

Lets hope our team remembers Majerus defense.

They played a team that a squad of billikens.com all stars could beat.

Final score tomorrow 52-50 Billikens. Conk and Evans combine for 30 boards. Jett drives and hits a hanging in the air up and under layup to win it.
