Drake banks in a 3 to beat Evansville at the gun.

Muller being on the call for that ending is hilarious.

Muller being on the call for that ending is hilarious.

I hope he chimed in “I know all too well how Evansville feels right now”

Missouri State loses to Murray State dropping them into a tie for 8th place with ISU and Evansville. Would love to sneak into the top 7 but 2 games now separate 8th from 7th. Birds have a great opportunity to finish the season 3-2, maybe even 4-1... or they could regress. To be determined.

Missouri State has the tiebreaker currently with lots to be determined with ISU vs Evansville and ISU vs Missouri State remaining.

8. Missouri State 2-1
9. Illinois State 1-1
10. Evansville 1-2

Also since there is a likelihood that the H2H tiebreaker is a draw, I'll share the NET rankings. Doesn't look very favorable for ISU right now.
