I’m voting for a tossup, because I have no freaking idea what to expect from this team.

It’s not at home so that gives me a little more hope

I see no scenario where UNI beats USF, so the winner gets the Dons for the title.

I've expected us to be battling UNI for 3rd since the pairings were released.

Gotta love PantherNation: This after losing to Richmond 68-55

Pretty typical early season game the last 5-10 years. It's nice knowing before the end of November your at large chances are done. That way you can start prepping early for the only 3-4 games that matter all year.

Their at large chances are nowhere near done. Lots of good basketball teams still on the schedule. They will get better.

Looking forward to going to the game. Cheap lower bowl tickets are available on StubHub. Easy drive from Topeka so I’m going for both days. We fans need to support our team. Go to the Roundhouse if you can’t make it to KC. We need the atmosphere to improve at the arena. We have some talented players this year.

I took the day off work and will most likely be watching this game, as well as USA v Wales, at Spaulding's.

I did have a friend talk about trying to go up to KC, but I only had one day of PTO left for the year.

Understandable. I’m retired so it is easy for me to go.

Well crap. I dug out my 2006 Wichita State Campion sweatshirt with the MoValley logo on it just to wear if we got to play North Iowa. Weird but I don't remember this sweatshirt being this tight.

The wife and two of our friends are heading to KC for both games. Go Shocks

I'm not saying that still won't happen but if it does it won't be for 1st. SFU is solid.

Hopefully I'll get to breakdown the GCU v MSU game tonight and provide a little insight what to expect from the Lopes.

Before the season if we went into this tournament 3-0, I felt I'd start getting legitimately excited about the season. Good win at Richmond, if they can manage to go 2-0 in Kansas City, maybe we've got something going again? No idea what happens here, but the Richmond win gave me some hope.

We're all here on pins and needles hoping that maybe we can beat Grand Canyon. My how times have changed lol.
