We play our normal game, we're better than Bradley at home IMO. An awful first half dooms your comeback, especially if you don't have much depth. We've been playing McGill and Domask 38 - 40 minutes. That wears you out eventually.
Have to politely disagree. I'm not saying that "we" couldn't beat them at home or a neutral court, but I believe Bradley is playing better right now than we are. Also, I'm not as "into" the silver lining comeback in the 2nd half the other day. While they came storming back, they looked putrid in the 1st half and the entire Valpo game (who really isn't that good). For whatever reason, most likely the MASSIVE amount of minutes this team has played, they potentially may have peaked. I'll be watching Thursdays game with bated breath, hoping for the best but honestly not sure which team will show up.
Drake beats Valpo in OT
Bradley beats Missouri State in OT
Illinois State played Loyola tight but Ramblers pulled away late
Current Standings:
51 fouls called in the Mo St - Bradley game. It was an absolute atrocious game to watch. Bears would have won if they had any other coach in the league besides Ford.
DaSilva was sick - didn't play. Prim picked up two fouls immediately and only played 17 min. And yet Mo State took Bradley to OT at Bradley! West had 20 pts despite going 0 - 6 from three.
Interested in the UNI at Indiana State game tonight in Terre Haute. After the Loyola loss, the Panthers need to win out to get to 15-3 in the MVC, which coupled with their strong non-conference showing, should be enough for an at-large if they fall in St. Louis. After tonight, UNI has SIU and Evansville at home and finishes the regular season at Drake.
UNI down 17 at the half. Any at-large talk should go away with another loss. Also Loyola would be tied for 1st.
Panthers come all the way back but Indiana State wins

UNI in big trouble now. They would probably at least be on the bubble if they win their next five, but could be another one-bid year. Yuck.

They still have a very respectable NET. (They were @ 40, unknown atm how much this loss affects that.)
Since the NET is an NCAA-created ranking system, I'm really interested in seeing if the selection committee F's them if they don't win Arch Madness. They shouldn't, and we should be a 2-bid league if UNI fails to win the auto-bid, but we've all seen stupider decisions made by the committee in the past.

They mentioned in the TV broadcast that Belmont made it at 47 last year.

And they just dropped to 47.
