Well I lied about either UNI or Illinois State going undefeated heading in to the last weekend.

I hate this league

It's called parity. That's what they say for big 12 excuse.

Panthers win

Time to watch the big Sunflower Letdown.

Not that it was ever in doubt, but WSU just clinched the regular season title I believe.

If the unlikely happens and UNI, Illinois State, Evansville, and Southern Illinois all have a four way tie for 2nd place in the Valley at 11-7 how would the MVC Tourney seed those four teams

Meh, disqualify all four of em, hand the Shox the trophy, and buy all Shox fans dinner at Zia's on Saturday night, open bar of course.

Turns out Oklahoma is just a typical Big 12-2 team that loses too many games it shouldn't.

Whatever else is said about The Flagship -- and I love saying disparaging things as much as the next guy, and have done my share -- they do less of that foolishness than the other contenders do, and that's why they win the league every year. They aren't totally immune to it either, but they're like a golfer who's really good at hitting it into the trees, or the gorse, or wherever, and still getting up and down to save par. The rest of the league brings back cards with bogeys and double bogeys, and the Chickenhawks just turn in their 71 or 72 and go on to next season. I'm thinking Shaka may shaka things up soon, because Texas already has some good young players, has shown the ability to weather injury, and their guys play harder than some of The Rug's NBA passthroughs do. But for now, it looks like 71 is going to be good enough again.

Feel silly quoting myself, but how better to make fun of my kind words about the Shakahorns?

Still, they're young and will have lots of guys back, and I don't know that I'd want to face them in the tournament even this season -- but if they want to do something next year about The Flagship, one good way to start is by not getting their clock cleaned at home. To go back to my golf analogy, that's a double bogey, maybe a triple, and you can't afford many of those if you want to outscore someone who just keeps getting it up and down.

Well, let's see if KSU can make this a game in th second half or the "Murder She Wrote" marathon on the Hallmark Channel will be more entertaining.

We have clinched a share. We will clinch outright tomorrow.
