2017 NCAA Second Round
(1) Purdue beat Wichita State 60-52. Heck of an effort by the Shox.
(11) Oklahoma State beat Illinois State 65-52, ending the run for the MVC.
Out of our 3 teams in the postseason, all were in the NCAA tournament, and 2 of them won a game. I'm still pissed about Northern Iowa being left out, but maybe 2 wins, including an upset, in the NCAA tournament will get our conference more respect.
(2) Pittsburgh beat Kansas State 74-56, ending the run for the FOFC teams as well.
