We’re scoring 70.7 ppg (53rd best in the nation), and have allowed just 59.3 ppg (19th best in the nation). We have made 17.0 apg (5th best in the country), while our opponents have made just 13.1 apg (30th best in the country. Turnovers have been our greatest strength this year. We turned the ball over 11.2 times a game which is the best in the nation and have forced our opponents to make 17.4 tpg (14th best in the country). Not surprisingly steals goes right along with this. We’ve had 7.7 spg (21st best in the nation) and while our opponents have only stolen the ball from us 4.1 times a game (2nd best in the country). We also have had 2.8 bpg (58th best in the nation), but have let our opponents get 2.3 blocks against us each game (267th best in the country). Rebounding has also been a strength. We’ve pulled down 34.0 rpg (36th best in the nation). Our opponents have grabbed 31.6 rpg (221st best in the nation).

Our home record is 13-3 and our road record is 10-4. Our overall 23-7 record has yielded us an RPI that is 22nd best in the country, and we’re ranked #20 and #24 in the polls.

Seattle gets a play-in game against Seton Hall for a 12th seed.

We are the #7 seed in the New Orleans Region and will play Notre Dame. The talking heads are picking #10 seed Notre Dame to upset us.

[PointGuard]

Chicago State is the #4 seed in the East Region and will play Western Michigan.

[CoachC]

And I thought Air Force getting a number 4 seed was pretty out there! I'm not sure that Chicago State has even ever won a single game against another DI opponent from the state of Illinois.

[PointGuard]

Chicago State is in the NIT, not the NCAA Tourny.

[CoachC]

oh, ok. even that is shocking though! lol

[PointGuard]

Agree that it would be in real life, but in my fictional life they had a very good year (and beat us twice..damn them!).

#5 seed Western Michigan Broncos (16-14) vs #4 seed Chicago State Cougars (19-11)—Western Michigan jumped out on top and built a 12 point lead midway through the first half. At the half, Western Michigan was on top 39-31. In the second half, Chicago State kept chipping away at Western Michigan’s lead, but couldn’t get the lead until just before the end of the game. The lead see-sawed a few times, but Chicago State scored last and came away with an exciting 67-65 victory. Western Michigan shot themselves out of the NIT by tossing up 36 three-point attempts and hitting just 7 (19%). The rest of the team statistics were fairly even, but Chicago State simply played a more controlled game. Roland Dorsett came off the bench to score 13 points for Chicago State. For Western Michigan, their leading scorer was Toby Bailey who also scored 13 points. Bailey pulled down 11 rebounds also to record a double-double in a losing effort.
