ESPN Bracket Buster Game Opponent

We were announced as a "visiting" team for the ESPN Bracket Buster game later in the season. Here is a list of some of the top rated (RPI) teams that will host a game:

2004-05 RPI:

Top 12 HOME teams

17. Southern Illinois

22. Pacific

29. St. Mary's

32. Nevada

35. Old Dominion

37. Northern Iowa

43. Miami-OH

44. Creighton

45. Wichita St.

47. La-Lafayette

48. Ohio

50. Utah St.

My guess is that we hook up with Wichita State.... It is a natural rivalry with an opponent that is within driving distance. If not them, then Southern Illinois or Creighton. I will be 'shocked' if it is not WSU. It would set up a nice home game next year when Adam Liberty could welcome his former teammates to Tulsa.

Just taking this year into account ... I'd like to see us play Old Dominion. They're a bit of a media darling this year and they're power forward/center Alex Loughton is probably the best player in the CAA.

The return game next year wouldn't exactly be a "head line" game (Loughton is a senior), but a Green/Loughton match up would be quite exciting to see.
