If we can beat ISU (2nd to last in conf) and the Griz take care of business against PSU on thursday, we will lock up a bye for the tourney...
We would either play MSU or Weber in our first game in the qtrs...although we have an outside shot at the 3 seed as well...
I am far from convinced that both the Griz and the eags are going to win on Thursday. In my predictions thread I predicted that ISU would beat Eastern. I don't think Montana is out of the woods Thursday either. PSU is one of the hottest teams in the league and the Griz barely beat Northern Arizona on Monday. Northern Arizona missed a last-second shot or they would have won. That game was in Missoula too. ISU just had a pretty convincing win against Weber on Monday as well. They are much tougher than people give them credit for. Even if we pull that game out we have to turn around and play down in Ogden on Saturday. We can win twice but it's going to be tough. We can also lose both of these games if we don't approach this road trip like we're on a mission. I predicted that we would lose both of these upcoming games but I hope I'm wrong.
go eags!
