Can the HL gain some respect today?

Valparaiso @ Butler Indianapolis, Ind. 2:00 PM
Eastern Michigan @ Youngstown State 2:00 PM
Georgia Southern @ UIC Chicago, Ill. 4:00 PM
Ohio @ Detroit Detroit, Mich. 4:05 PM
Northern Illinois @ Wright State Dayton, Ohio 7:00 PM
UW-Milwaukee @ Hawai'i Honolulu, Hawai'i 8:00 PM
Loyola @ Evansville Evansville, Ind. 8:05 PM
Illinois State @ UW-Green Bay Green Bay, Wis. 9:00 PM
Cleveland State @ Central Michigan 2:00 PM

The big games are UWM @ Hawai & UWGB hosting Ill. State. Both of these games are televised so hopefully they both can win and put the HL in a good light nationally.

I don't think UWM has a high enough RPI to land and at large bid but still a win over the Rainbows would do a lot to help their cause.

If we can't win the HL tournament I'll be pulling for UWM simply because they deserve it since they won the HL's regular season title & they'll land the highest seed in the NCAA tournament of any HL team.

I'm pumped about tonights game with NIU. It seems like it has been a while since we played at home. The guys have to love being back home and on their home floor. Let's hope the crowd is into it tonight.

I'll take a 6-3 Bracket Buster record for the HL.

I'm happy for UWM. What a big road win and on TV to top it off.

Loyola as won 2 road games in a row now. They are hot.

I thought GB would win @ home tonight. This score was a bit dissappointing.
