And the Indy St moment ends with a stomping by Oklahoma.

SIU plays later tonight v Colorado.

SIU picks up the W. Best win of season so far for Valley. Drake at home tomorrow v Richmond. Another chance for a decent win.

Colorado State is a top 40 team in any poll you can find. They are picked to win the Mountain West ahead of San Diego State, Nevada, Boise State, Utah State, Fresno State and UNLV. Not a bad loss today by Bradley.

Oh I know. Did you watch the first half of the game? Bradley looked really bad and Colo State looked worse. It’s one game on an island, in a new gym. I don’t put much stock into the first half. You could see from the tip CSU was better but they just looked really bad. Completely different team in the second half and Bradley stayed with them till the end.

I will say Terry Roberts vs Mark Freeman will be fun. I don’t know what’s going to happen when we get there but they are two of the fastest guards I’ve seen in the MVC in a while.

Drake looked pretty good down the stretch. Loyola and Drake look way better than everyone else right now.

Tough day for the Valley. SIU lost a game they should've won and INST will lost to NMSU. Domask was awful. SIU will play Creighton tomorrow.

We also forgot to add the bu got beat by Brown over the weekend. Happy they got a win over the vaunted Missouri Science, Technology and Video Games College. 1-4 as of right now.

It will always suck to bu.

And just as soon as they get the best win, they turn around and get clocked by Northeastern.

Go fightin' poodles!

Bradley looks awful. They dropped to 1-5 with a loss to Duquesne.

Valpo and Bradley appear to be locks for Thursday. Now, the Birds just need to separate from Evansville and Indy State, and we're talking about a Friday night game in STL.

If we end up playing on Thursday, I'm pointing at this post as the jinx.

SIU loses at buzzer. Bu gets beat again and Eville drops one in three OTs.

The valley has a sub .500 record now. Ouch.

I have seen three of SIU games. As expected their defense is good but you can expose their bigs. Offense is erratic and Domask, Jones and Verplanken seem like the only offensive minded players. It looks like Ben Harvey has not been playing. Not sure if he is hurt or just in the dog house. I thought he played decent for them last year and if he is healthy I am surprised he has not played more.

Just a reminder that bu is currently DEAD last in the valley at 0-5. Carry on.

On the bright side for pu, they have nowhere to go but up.

It really, really sucks to bu!

I'll give the same answer Cali would give if the MVC was ranked 7th instead of 27th ...

... it's still VERY early (not even two weeks in) and VERY fluid (is the MAC really going to stay 5th)!
