The only thing we know is that the game will be Sunday, and it will be at a venue different from either Illinois or Loyola/GT played Friday.

Game will be at Bankers life or Lucas oil and you have to figure the NCAA will want to capitalize on revenue so it will be at Lucas. Could be wrong but that's the way I see it

Should we be worried about Loyola at all? Because I'm not. It is unfortunate for them that they got underseeded into playing Illinois in the 2nd round, but I don't think they have much chance to hang with us.

Loyola is massively under-seeded.
Loyola is massively overrated.

They don't have a single great non con win, got whooped by Wisconsin, have losses to Richmond, Indiana St. and play chumps in their conference. They're best win is against an 11 seed Drake. Wouldn't be surprised to see them lose to GT, even without their best player. But it's March so I guess anything can happen.

With that said, I'm perfectly ok with someone knocking off Oklahoma St. before we get to them!

Still not impressed with Krutwig as a possible Kofi replacement....he would be overmatched in the B1G grind....JMHO
Agree and I keep coming back to this comparison: a rich man’s Ryan Young.

Do I think he is a BIG level player? Absolutely.

Do I think he’s much above a replacement level BIG center? Not really.

To me, he's a big fish in a small pond....coming to the B1G , he would be a little fish in the ocean.......MVC versus B1G ....kinda like our game earlier...he would be over matched every night.......but, that's JMHO.......

If you think you can find another Kofi, not going to happen. A serviceable replacement, nah. Just drop the word replacement and think about who can play the post next year and complement the TEAM talent and style we have then.

In Brad we trust, he will adjust

I totally agree.....my post was in reference to the numerous posts wanting krutwig to transfer to us to replace Kofi...NOBODY can replace the HULK....Jmho
