Birds open today against Missouri State, who is hosting the tournament. Loser is eliminated, winner goes to the double elimination bracket starting tomorrow. SIU snags the top seed, but Dallas Baptist is the favorite. DBU was in the running for a regional host before slipping up during...

Cermak has been showing up around the 50-75 range overall lately, and is getting mentions as a potential Day 1 selection. Pretty exciting for him and the team. Unfortunately no, he will not be back. But, the more MLB players ISU produces, the better for the program.

I've got to say, after researching Ben McCollum I was excited by his coaching philosophy. Pedon, while he has an impressive assistant coaching resume, feels like more of a "safe" choice. He sounds like every other coach (not that that's necessarily a bad thing), while McCollum sounded...

At the end of the day the reality is that there are maybe 5-10 jobs in the country where your coach wouldn't be at risk of bolting. My take is get the next best up-and-comer, and don't worry about upward mobility. Keep getting great coaches, become a name in college basketball and don't worry...

Each game a team plays in the tournament means not insignificant money for the conference.

I really enjoy watching Emon Washington play basketball. He is athletic, can shoot, rebound, defends well and has a nose for the ball. He always seems to be in the right place, and is the one guy who seems to get more than his share of 50/50 balls. He showed he could score early in the year...

Iowa gets its fair share of 4 star recruits - two each in 2017 and 2019 and one in 2018. This is not an apples to apples comparison. And let's not forget the last time ISU got two 3 stars was the McIntosh, Wills and Lee (2 star) class. That worked out pretty well, even with the disappointing...

Redbirds check in at #71 on Bart Torvik's pre-season ratings. http://www.barttorvik.com/ ISU's page: http://www.barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Illinois+St.&year=2019 Titbits: Loyola checks in at #60 and Valpo at #66 Birds are projected to have four Tier I games (Clemson would likely add a fifth)...
