premature...need more data points to support that perspective, IMO..... that comment is just like those associated with Redbird basketball that claim Yak is already a P5 coach/Michigan's next head coach in waiting.

Glad to see Drake win. Classy fan base while the folks in Peoria run conspiracy theories.

Glad to see Drake win because it pushes Bradley back in to the Thursday games.

I'll take a W from Missouri State tonight for the same reason, please.

Birds just need to figure out a way to get hot to get a little separation so they can get away from Thursday.

A sad commentary when there is legitimate concern whether we finish ahead of Bradley in the standings, yet that is where the team has put itself.

Ok so I think we match up well with Drake so if Drake can get the 1 seed then I want the 4-5 seed for ISU. In reality tough it all depends on what team is sitting the ball well down in St Louis. Glad Drake won. We really need road win tonight. If we can win tonight I think that gets us out of our head for the last two gone games against two of the top three teams. Could be a good momentum builder for us.

You have to remember Bradley was picked to finish in the top four this year. They aren't a bad team.

Anyone think we can win three of the next 4?

I think we'd be lucky winning 2. The team seems to be coming apart, especially the way they played at home the last few times.

Who would have thought that Drake would field a competitive team? 21 wins already. Amazing.

And they lost possibly their best player for the season in their first conference game!

Dana Ford. Losing record at Tennessee State. First year horrendous. Nice year 2. Then slumped to mediocrity. MSU trending up in small sample size. Jury still out IMO. On record, he’s underperforming Muller, and many bitch about his performance. If Dana had delivered his 6 year performance here, many in our fan base would only be happy as of the last few weeks.
