Well now I just wasted the puns.

Drake wins the valley
Drake wins the Missouri Valley Conference tournament final over Indiana State 84-80. It is the Bulldogs' 6th NCAA Tournament and their 2nd consecutive.
Stetson defeats Austin Peay 94-91 in the ASUN tournament final. It is the Hatters' first ever NCAA Tournament appearance, having been a D-I program since 1972.

3-17 finish in Conference play for Michigan. Just brutal.
Top 4 of the BTT is locked:
1. Purdue
2. Illinois
3. Nebraska
4. Northwestern
If we do indeed win today an Iowa-->Nebraska/6 seed run to the Finals seems more favorable on paper than most lines.

First team in 15 seasons of B10 play to finish worst in the B10 by 4 or more games. Having a team this bad and uncompetitive in what has been one of the worst B10's in recent memory is some truly special coaching.
Is MSU still in with a loss today to a cheeks IU team?

And only 3 years from "winning" the conference.
So LSU and South Carolina both will be down five players now in the first round of the big tournament? Jeez.

Right up to the time they lost the game.
So the tourney gets Longwood, NET around 170, and probably loses the greatest set of on-the-court goggles in half a century

Would not want to be a 5 seed seeing Drake on that 12 line.
Almost seems like when they lost a couple tough games midseason they checked out waiting for next year's big recruiting class. That's understandable for fans, but disturbing when it seems to affect the team.
Indiana State's NET was 26 going into today. They're 5-5 in Quad 1 and Quad 2. Even with today's loss, I'd be shocked if the Sycamores didn't get in next week.
I need MSU and Maryland to win for a nice paying B10 Parlay
Only one Q1 win though
how many potential one n doners they gonna get next season?
not being snarky, don't know anything about them.
Seeding scenarios for the final 3 games of the day:
If the Illini beat Iowa, they likely face Iowa/Minnesota winner with an outside chance it's Iowa/Penn State in that 7/10 game. If the Illini lose, then it'll be us against most likely Michigan State/Minnesota winner with a small chance it's either Indiana/Minnesota or Indiana/Ohio State in the 7/10 game.

Hoping Ohio State doesn’t end up as the 10 seed, they seem to be red hot. Let them be in Purdue’s side of the bracket. The other potential matchups for us don’t really scare me.
It's Purdue, who got every call all game long. Was it a dick move? Yes. Did it make me laugh? Why yes. Does it change my opinion of Mr Storr? Nope. Do I wish him on the beloved next year? No,think money could be spent better.
Even the Gophers with a virtual home game?

I had Nebby, Purdue, and Indiana on ML today. I cashed out before half on the Indiana game. Quick double money.
They better hope so --they went down.
