I would much rather see the Raiders play Auburn over MSU, if not for the sole reason that MSU is a March Madness blueblood while Auburn isn't.

Bunch of creeps. ...and that the media may rehash over and over the Raiders beat then #6 MSU in their National Championship year. It was part of a 1-for-2 contract between WSU and MSU.

Lunardi has WSU as a 15 seed against 2 seed Cincinnatti in Nashville... I'd make that drive.

I have been to both previous NCAA games and will plan on attending one if they get in.

My prediction as of today, February 8th: UIC will close out the final weekend with upsets over both WSU and NKU. The championship game will come down to us and either OU or UIC.
If we win the league tourney, we'll be a 15 seed and UIC will go two rounds in the NIT. If either Oakland or UIC win, they'll be the first 16 seed to upset a 1.
We will destroy everyone next season.

If either Oakland or UIC win, they'll be the first 16 seed to upset a 1. Don't see a 16 beating a 1, but you might have a somewhat valid point, any of the top 4 from the Horizon League may be the strongest 16th seed ever. The Horizon League was always a strong mid major conference until the last couple of years and if i remember right, usually were seeded somewhere between 12 and 14. Therefore, if one of the top 4 goes to the Tourney, they will play more like a 12 seed than a 16 seed. Oakland definitely has the raw talent to win against a powerhouse if they all put on their game faces, and I really think UIC can sneak up on people if Dixson becomes a contributor again for one game (seriously, no one even passes to him). It's gonna happen sometime. We're a better team than 2008, but we'll get a worse seed. If we drop one to either NKU or UIC, we'd be a 16, too.
