at Murray State - 12/1/2022 - 7:00 PM - ESPN+

Call me crazy, but I like the Birds +11.

UIC had nobody at the game, no buzz about their first Valley game. I don’t think that will be the case tonight, I think Murray will have a big and noisy crowd.

Indiana State had a nice crowd that was engaged. Good to see it out of their fan base. I didn't expect a move to the Valley would light up the Flames and their fans. We should be able to stay in front of UIC, E'ville and Valpo. After that, it's anyone's guess.

Does anyone know of any Bloomington/Normal bars or restaurants that will be viewing the game?

I assume the Pub will be. Maybe Fiala brothers (@dpdoughbird06 can you confirm you will be?).

 

[Redbird222]

Murray St is 303 - 49 all time in the CFSB Center ... that's a home court advantage

 

[The Beak]

If we keep it within 10, it's a moral victory tonight.

Back to the Game 1 starters. Burford, Poindexter, Knight, Lewis, McChesney. So the “shake up” was just putting Mal back in the starting 5.

Malachi running point. Burford moved to the 2.

Guess that means Burford is going to be told to score.

 

[RedbirdFanatic32]

I've got a bad feeling about this, but watching regardless!

 

[RedbirdFanatic32]

Great start though

 

[Redbird222]

McChesney with nice start ... steal and dunk coupled with nice post move

 

[Bird Friend]

McChesney with nice start ... steal and dunk coupled with nice post move

And then 2 stupid fouls and he sits down . . .

 

[Redbird222]

And now McChesney is on the bench with 2 fouls

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Game bring called tight on both sides. Don't mind that one bit after the wrestling matches in the Caymans

 

[Redbird222]

And then 2 stupid fouls and he sits down . . .

Yep and the matador defense by the guards didn't help when he tried to block the shot

 

[Metamoron]

A lot of empty seats with white TShirts on them

 

[Redbird222]

Murray is so much quicker than us

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Not sure I like the olè defense.
