Big South (all games 6 p.m.)

#8 Loyola (Chicago) @ #5 Detroit
#10 Illinois-Chicago @ #3 Cleveland State (likely the last game of Paul Carter's career; can he join Gophs afterwards?)

I'll go with a pair of upsets (based on seeding) tonight. I'll take Winthrop over VMI in the Big South and Loyola over Detroit in the Horizon.

I actually believe that Detroit will not only beat Loyola, but Valpo and Milwaukee as well.

Milwaukee tries to feed the post and just foul people out. Detroit has enough big people, specifically Eli Holman and Nate Minnerath to cancel that out a bit.

Sounds like you follow the Horizon closely. Has Ray McCallum Jr. been as good as advertised? The couple times I've seen him he looks like a pretty poised kid.

No kidding. How nice would it be to have him on the roster?
