Redbirds @ #25 Drake 2/1 6:00 PM ESPN3

[ISU86]

Indiana State -1 | 132 1/2 Bradley
Drake -18 | 142 1/2 Illinois State
Evansville -3 | 127 1/2 Valparaiso
Loyola-Chicago -8 | 136 1/2 at Missouri State

After yesterday's effort, it would be nice to see the 'birds come back with another solid effort and see if they penny is actually dropping (or was it just an abberation).

Bulldogs 81, Redbirds 66

On a side note, at times I could not help to think how this team would have looked (at least yesterday) if Chatman could have stayed out of his own head and Fisher III felt comfortble enough to play this season. The gameflow seemed better matched to them in the frontcourt.

#25 Drake. Looks like it took an overtime win over highly respected ISU to elevate Drake to this historic achievement.

The line has moved to -19, interesting. Bettors are thinking ISU will not be able to keep up two days in a row.

Redbirds 63
Drake 78

 

[Redbird222]

Down 5 to 4 first TV timeout. Bith sides shots a little short ... could be tired legs today

 

[Redbird222]

Brodie two turnovers and a missed shot. Where was thst yesterday?

 

[Redbird222]

Too many turnovers by Birds

 

[Bird Friend]

This game’s not like yesterday’s . . .

 

[Redbird222]

We have 5 TO and gave up 3 offensive rebounds of which at least 2 led to baskets. Need to fix this to compete in this game

 

[Bird Friend]

Both teams seem sluggish, we’re just a little more so.

 

[Bird Friend]

Okay . . . maybe a lot more sluggish.

 

[WoodlandWarrior]

Well, at least Bradley got beat again.

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Both teams seem sluggish, we’re just a little more so.

Agreed. We are going to have to turn it up soon

 

[Redbird222]

Need Reeves in there. Boyd is out of position on top of zone.

 

[Bird Friend]

Reeves got hammered with no call . . .

 

[Redbird222]

Brodie and Dusan both loom dead

 

[BirdGrad2011]

Dedric can be infuriating. Nothing flowing offensively so he forces an awful shot. Gives 0 effort on defense and a wide open 3. He lets his offense dictate everything too much.

 

[redbirdfan04]

By the way kudos to Dan for getting a top 25 on the schedule!!

 

[The Beak]

More driving into the lane less settling for threes. Worked yesterday.

 

[BirdGrad2011]

Dusan shouldn’t play another minute after trying to be a point guard and immediately turning it over

 

[The Beak]

Yeah I meant the guards. Jesus. Dusan.
