stop it. Neither team is better than SIU.Β 

I think SIU beats Belmont at home on Sunday although it's gonna be interesting to see who guards Sheppard.Β  He's the type of athleticism that Domask has struggled with.

I know you H8 the team from Peoria, but their length and athleticism is exactly what gives this team fits.Β  Again, I am NOT saying we can't beat them at home, but putting bias aside, they are better in my opinion.Β Β

Salukiworld, just remember they were without their stud freshmen, lost a key player to shoulder injury later in the game and lost their starting center due to fouls.Β  Β

Watched some of Mo State at UNI. UNI is really young/bad this year. We should beat them twice.

Belmont did a nice job of shutting down Mast, just 5-14 for 12 points and only 4 rebounds.Β 

Sheppard didn't have a great game and they still won.Β  Sheppard is the most impressive looking player in the Valley, he looks like an NBA player physically.Β 

Friberg from Belmont went 6-8 from 3, got to shut him down.

Really fun game to watch, and Friberg is one helluva shooter. Β I also came to post about Sheppard: he had an off-night offensively, but he will be a star in the Valley for sure - very impressive for a freshman.

As for our games against both, I think both are beatable: Bradley is a load down low, but Belmont just beat them without any kind of offensive productivity out of their front court. Β Belmont on the other hand looked sloppy; they didn't handle ball pressure very well, so I think we'll be a matchup problem for them with the way we defend - just make sure you guard the 3-point line.

Would love to see Valpo get their first win against Indy State tomorrow; there near-win at Drake a few days ago gives me hope.

Valpo is useless today. I’m hoping MSU can knock off Drake at home. We don’t want Drake getting a big road win.Β

Drake has missed shot after shot in this game.Β  If they shoot like this on the road, they can lose anywhere.Β  Right now it's a 1pt game with 9:30 left

Yeah, this is showing why Drake is 0-3 on the road this season. They are not good away from home. They might pull this out though, but still, not good on the road.
