The nice thing about being the underdog tonight

[SpiderRico]

is that every other team's fanbase in attendance will be rooting for us. Everyone else wants the underdog to win so that their path is potentially easier. Tonight will be as close to a home game as we'll get at a neutral site.

Can't wait to get this thing started!

Go Hawks!

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Besides underdog has negative connotations. Better to be the big dog in the fight.

You crazy! There isnt another fanbase in attendance other than MSUs that will root for them. Happens every year in conference tourneys. And i was referring to underdog based on other fans' perception of us, not our own perception.

No. Bubble teams root against other bubble teams (as we do to others), regardless of their underdog status. Also, no bubble team is rooting for Utah this weekend. There's more on the line than favorite vs underdog.

No not crazy. Where are the games played? Chicago. What state is Chicago in? Illinois. What fan base hates Iowa more than any other fan base? Illinois.

Simply math.
