now the the tourney schedule is set, what is everybody's predictions? Looks like there are going to be some pretty good matchups.

OK, I predict that someone wins Silver on Sunday and then probably someone different will win Gold. How's that?

Silver:

SIU-E Silver over Bradley
Western over MSU

McKendree over Western
Marquette over SIU-E

McKendree over Marquette

Gold:

Iowa over ISU
Eastern over Mizzou

MSU over Eastern
SIU-E over Iowa

MSU over SIU-E

Gold:

Iowa beats Illinois State
Missouri beats Eastern Illinois

Missouri over SIU-Edwardsville
SMS beats Iowa

Missouri upsets SMS


The season's greatest upsets seem to happen during the conference tourney. This year will be no exception. The Tigers will leave it all on the ice in East Alton this weekend and show why they should be headed to regionals, after all.

Clearly someone joking around. Not from a Tiger player or fan.

They have to be joking because they are confident their team can win a couple tournament games. You must not be affiliated with the team if you don't think they have a shot at winning. If you don't think you are going to win you never will.

the person jokin around must be the one who posted Eastern will beat Mizzou....now thats a joke. Mizzou should beat SIUE as well as they dropped the ball in the first game but beat them convincly the next two.

Ultimately will come down to MoSt. vs. Mizzou or SIUE

Who's SMS?

what a Mizzou fan calls the Ice Bears

its been been missouri state for about three years? prior to that, it's been sms since 1919. that's quite some time.

The title of the thread is predictions.

If you can't make predictions that's fine, then start a new thread. POINTLESS

You can't make a prediction if you can't get the school name right.

Once again, pointless. Thanks for proving the point.

actually youre wrong they didnt become a university intill later into the 60's i believe

History of the University Missouri State University was founded in Springfield in 1905 as the Fourth District Normal School. During its early years, the institution's primary purpose was the preparation of teachers for the public school systems in the southwest region of Missouri. The first name change came in 1919 when the school became Southwest Missouri State Teachers College, reflecting its regional mission.
By the mid-1940s, the University had expanded its instructional program beyond teacher education to include the liberal arts and sciences; and as a consequence, the Missouri legislature, in 1945, authorized an official change in the institution's name to Southwest Missouri State College.

By 1972, as additional programs were implemented at the undergraduate level, and with the development of graduate education, the University had become an educationally diverse institution. Recognition of this further growth and development again resulted in an official change in name to Southwest Missouri State University.

In 1963, a residence center offering freshman and sophomore level courses was established at West Plains. Now, as a second campus of the university with its own mission, the West Plains campus offers a two-year general education program, which is fully integrated with programs on the main campus, as well as other specialty and skills courses.

In 2005, the University's name changed to Missouri State University. This final name change reflected the changing nature of the institution, as evidenced by increased enrollment, admissions standards, graduation rates, graduate programs and freshman success.

You Wiki that?

Back to the predictions...

GOLD- Missouri State over SIU-E
Silver- SIU-E over Missouri State

Where can I get what you're smoking?

Some of us from MU will always call the university in Springfield, MO "SMS." Without apology.

Here's to the Ice Tigers' success this weekend.

You'll always be MU-C in our hearts as well.

either way they lost four times to the bears this season....... i hope it doesnt have to be five

what, i cant have my own thoughts...... thats why its called a prediction. sorry i didnt pick your team to win it all.

There's no such place as "MU-C." Good thing SMS can finally brag about winning the season series over MU. Took them long enough -- almost as long as it took them to win home games over the Tigers in Springfield.

Mizzou and Iowa move on -- good luck to both.

Exactly the point. There no such thing as SMS anymore. Wake up smell the 2007(or 2006 or 2005) season.

My predictions:

MU over Eastern
MU over SIUE
MU over SMS for gold championship

"They have to be joking because they are confident their team can win a couple tournament games. You must not be affiliated with the team if you don't think they have a shot at winning. If you don't think you are going to win you never will."

Actual:

MU over Eastern
MU over SIUE
SMS over MU... in overtime

Again, not too bad, if I say so myself. Just like my predictions with GVSU last weekend. Glad somebody gives Mizzou some love on this board.

Sounds like it was a heckuva tournament in East Alton. Good luck in regionals, Bears.
