I say 7 as well. 2 Home Wins for Valpo and 1 Home Win for Oakland, Detroit, Wright State, Youngstown State, and Northern Kentucky.
And I'll say it, essentially, I vote for whatever would help Oakland get the 3-seed in the HL Tourney!  ;D

1 Valparaiso       11-1            5 wins
2 Oakland           9-4     2½     1 Loss
2 Wright State     9-4     2½     1 Loss

How do you know that some of us weren't secretly predicting UIC to beat Wright State? After seeing the Flames battle the Crusaders in the 2nd half on Saturday I was pretty confident that UIC would give WSU a much tougher game than most people predicted. I wasn't quite sure whether Dixson, Kolawole, Odiase and company would actually score enough against the usually tough defense of WSU.



Here's the UIC press conference

If you watch Coach McClain during his press conference his mannerisms and voice are almost the very same as his mentor, Tom Crean.
