So we have to wonder what the experts are saying this morning about St. Louis University's chances of getting into the NCAA tournament after winning their semi final game last night. Surely they're in. Surely.
Then there's the 'sort of' surprise, Baylor beating Kansas last night to put them in the title game against Mizzou who beat Texas. All the experts and those wanting a dream matchup were sure it would be KU-MU, but alas and hurray, it's the Baylor Bears.
Around here BU and MU will be a bittersweet conference title game, we almost hate to see either one lose, but both will be going on the the NCAA's so that makes it easier. Baylor's coach, Scott Drew of the well known coaching family, is a great guy-nice as you'll find just like his brother Brice who has the reins at Valpo and his Dad, Homer, formerly of VU.
But our hearts and emotions are with the Tigers, just have to be.
The Illini could do worse than giving Scott Drew a close look when they start looking for a new coach.
