*The Valley on ESPN is digial on ESPN and also on Bally Sports I believe:

Telecasts shown within the regional sports networks’ distribution area will be streamed on the Bally Sports app and available at BallySports.com.

[fdbird83]

Roman Penn drops in 32 in a 2 point loss to Indiana State.

 

[Redbird222]

Indiana St beat Drake. Drake forced a turnover with 1.1 seconds. Devries missed 3 at buzzer. Very entertaining game. I was impressed with the Sycamores freshman forward Avila.

 

[Redbird82]

Drake had a 5 pt lead late and couldn’t hold it. SIU destroying Evansville

 

[BTbird]

I was impressed with the Sycamores freshman forward Avila.

I was bummed we did not recruit Robbie Buckets. Had a feeling he was going to be a good one.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Bradley all over UNI

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

After watching the games tonight I can say with certainty that we have to play much much better to compete.

 

[Redbird82]

UNI played well for 28 minutes but Bradley is up almost 20 now

 

[Redbird222]

Drake and Indiana St was well played by both teams.

Missouri State vs UIC was an ugly game. Neither team shot that well but MSU took care of the ball much better than UIC. Both offenses look undisciplined and out of since

 

[isuquinndog]

Updated with scores

 

[BirdGrad2011]

I was bummed we did not recruit Robbie Buckets. Had a feeling he was going to be a good one.

That would’ve required Muller to do his homework and recruit Illinois outside of central IL.

Without the talent, playing better may just end up in prettier losses.

 

[isuquinndog]

Thursday scores up. Obviously we lost in OT and Belmont beat Valpo easily for their first Valley win. Now we get Belmont at home.

 

[Redbird222]

The trees just scored 58 points in the first half on the road against Miami Ohio

They have shooters everywhere and play smart basketball. Hopefully McCauley isn’t injured too bad he went down at the end of the half. Does anyone know how long Neese is out for, don’t see him on the bench.

 

[isuquinndog]

Both of Murray St's games went to OT and they went 1-1

 

[Redbird222]

Both of Murray St's games went to OT and they went 1-1

Murray beat Valpo and us in OT. They are 2 - 0 in the conference

 

[Adunk33]

Murray beat Valpo and us in OT. They are 2 - 0 in the conference

Birds are a possession or so away from being 2-0. I don't think many would've seen that coming through the first 2.
