ESPN's matchup predictor gives us a 51.6% chance to win this game, so it's basically a toss up. I'm going to be optimistic and say that State wins a close one 84-81.

Yeah, on paper we are the better team, just don't have the marquee wins that NET appreciates. We need this one and I think we get it. We have to get to 12-6 to have a shot at an at-large NCAA bid - going to have to get all the tossups and a couple we're not supposed to.

I think 10-8 gets us on a bubble. Long shot but at 18-13 and win a couple in SEC tournament - we could make it.

Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser was the head coach at Illinois state in the 2000s and for a number of years Chris Jans was on his staff as an assistant

Interesting tidbit. Saw Chris give him a short man hug during the post game hand shake, the only time I could recall him doing that. Wondered why, now I know.
