Can't.... And some from OSU gave us tix. So I heard if we win tonight we have to play agAin tomorrow?

Yes, looks like we'd play at 7pm tomorrow based on the NCAA interactive bracket that was posted on here previously.

The reason for the "extra" game is that it is a double elimination tournament and Arkansas hasn't lost yet

ORU and Oklahoma St (the home team and top seed in the bracket) have both been eliminated. We have to beat Arkansas twice (tonight and tomorrow night) to advance

If we lose tonight, it's all over for the Johnnies

Tonight's game should be broadcast on ESPN 3 once again

LET'S GO REDMEN!!!
 
The flaw in the way they do this is we are playing one more game than Arkansas giving us 1 extra chance to lose all because we lost our opening game. It would be fairer if Ark had to play Oral Roberts today.
 
It's double elimination and unfortunately we lost close one in opening round vs OK St. Otherwise SJU could have been in same spot as Ark waiting for others to come out of losers bracket.
Let's go Redmen!
Would be great for Big East and our program if we can get to next round of 16

The system seems fair to me
Had we beaten Oklahoma State, we wouldn't be in this position
Arkansas beat them, so they have a deserved advantage

OR already eliminated. Would make no sense for them to continue to play.
 
Well that was a fun trip. Needless to say not a lot of Redmen there but we did get to chat with Dads of Chris Kalica (who pitched this afternoon and was terrific) and Shawn Heide who is pitching this eveing versus Arkansas.

When we went to buy tix for the first game someone from OSU who could not go had left theirs at the window - so no charge - and we could have gone to the second game for free as well, courtesy of an OSU fan. Those Okies might talk funny but they were very gracious in defeat and wished us well against Arkansas - whom they seem to have a strong dislike for...

3.5 hours, straight shot up I35, easy drive, no traffic/construction/cops, probably averaged 75mph.
