Loyola shut down their great guard, played excellent D, and crashed the boards. Ga T would have lost w their best player. The guy that subbed for him was their leading scorer..played great. LU plugged the middle and forced Tech to shoot from outside. Be interesting to see if they can do that against ILL.
Norris doesn't remind much of Brown at all. Wish he did. Played great today.
OSU played dumb last few minutes of the game. Washington, great in Big 10 tournament but just awful today, kept driving and missing layups and keeping the ball away from Lidell. Lidell should have taken the final shot...he was the only OSU player who really played well. Oral deserved to win.
MVC has more wins than the Big 10.

Porter Moser can coach
Agree. He's a vastly better coach than he was at Redturd U. Learned a lot from Majerus too! People that keep ripping his coaching ability look foolish! Loyola, being in a hotbed of high school basketball and having a good coach who is building up a tradition of excellence, is going to be a force in the MVC for a long time!
I'm kind of ashamed to say that I posted a semi-trolling comment over on the WSU board. I feel bad only because it was a reply to a post by an OK guy over there. Basically his post was about how Loyola beat a depleted GA Tech team, and I just got so annoyed that there was pretty much no acknowledgement on that board that WSU LOST to an even more depleted Drake team.
I don't like myself for doing that, but eff those guys.
Pee on Wichita. They won their conference but lost to a truly depleted Drake team that didn't win the MVC.
I'm really tired of hearing this crap about a depleted Georgia Tech. Tech had the ACC Tournament MVP Devoe - an ACC All-Conference pick - and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year Alverado - an ACC All-Conference pick and finalist for National Defensive Player of the Year. Alverado had 5 steals against Florida St in the ACC championship game. He had ZERO against Loyola. Devoe, not Wright, was the leading scorer against Florida St in the ACC championship game. Yes with Moses wright they would have had a few more rebounds, but Loyola beat them to every ball and was just quicker and tougher. They played great D. Loyola wins this game with or without Wright.
Someone said Loyola looked overmatched. 2nd half, Georgia Tech looked overmatched, and they were!
I think Loyola can play with just about anyone but Illinois is awfully good this year. Going to have to outcompete them for loose balls, hope Illinois isn’t shooting well and gets tight, etc.
Needless to say, it would be a monumental win for them and for the Valley, but UIUC is a handful (for a change) and one of the two most dangerous teams in the field. Loyola should have at least been a 7 seed over, say, Clemson.
Also think Drake could be in big trouble against USC today. Hemphill clearly isn’t himself yet and those Yesufu floaters could be hard to come by against a long and athletic USC team.
Can the NCAA enact the old MLB “player manager” rule for coaches/managers to suit up for their team?
Because that’s what Georgetown is going to need here. oof.

Norris has hit 40.9 % on threes this year, Trent 38.9%.

Did anyone else hear that announcer just basically rip on the MVC? "Those are possibly dunks in the Valley, not here against USC". Whatever dude !!!
When I look at Samake, I look at what Ebube can be. Super athletic, great jumper, strong, good rebounder, etc.
Yesufu is carrying Drake. Just a Sophomore and from Illinois, how did he get out of state? I think H***** offered him

Serious question...Why was Yesufu ever a bench player? This dude is legit!
Creighton is in trouble with the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos. Down 6 with 4:46 to go.

He just dissed us again regarding stopping a dribble. What a douchebag. Aren't announcers supposed to do a little homework? wtf...
If you're gonna reply to me in the forums, please quote what I wrote that you're replying to so I have a clue...thanks! 😀
Mobley is going to make a LOT of $$$ playing this game.
If this goon doesn’t even know that the Drake is based in Des Moines Iowa - not Indiana - why the fuck am I supposed to trust that he knows anything about what is or is not a play in Valley ball?
homework grade F
hey guy, when you do the Loyola game tomorrow, they are from Chicago, which is Illinois. Hopefully that ones a little easier for you.
