Of course, I am most interested in our game, but the Indiana State at Loyola game will be very interesting to me. GO BIRDS!

Think maybe Birds and Drake may win on the road but man they all could go either way, exception SIU vs M State

Drake up by 1 at half. Norton went down in noncontact injury. Looks like possible knee but not sure. He was taken to the locker room.

Looking good on the road. Maybe Valley sucks as bad as advertised.

 

[Redbird222]

Bradley down by 10 at halftime to UNI in Peoria

That's two charges drawn by Chastain

Loyola beating Indiana St 53-17? Unless espn is wrong, I'd almost rather lose by 2 on tbe road to valpo. That's dogfood, right?

61-26. 11:00 left. It’s in MVC network (FSN/NBCSN/etc). Heard them say Barnes was in the locker room “sick”.

Was at the game and question the Barnes sickness as does the Indy State beat writer. Indy was so blown out the coach may have waived the flagged and was looking for an excuse. Indy State started up 8 -2 and then Loyola went on a 44 - 4 run for the remainder of the 1st half.

Loyola played a defensive strategy like many teams do against ISU....overplay the strong side big time which also shuts down the driving lanes/interior passing. Loyola gave up covering the weak side as Indy State had no weak side shooters and Indy State guards were too short to make the cross pass. Barnes was contained and covered like a glove big time. Loyola had the quickness at the guards to make it work

In all of basketball history. Ever.

Can Bradley really be that bad? Geez, I thought they were moving up in the valley. We might actually win in Peoria this year ...

Calls for Wardles head on the PJStar board. It's just as bad over there as here.
