Meanwhile Eastern Illinois lost again at home to Austin Peay to drop their RPI to 342. That means they are dead last in the RPI again.--

And I believe this makes 3 or 4 years in a row that they have spent significant time as the worst RPI team in the country.
Former BU recruit T.J. Marion was EIU's leading scorer with 20 points.
A whopping total of 803 fans saw this game at EIU. They shot 52% overall, and 58% from three, but their defense could not stop Austin Peay.
This will be Mike Miller's 4th season at EIU, and his teams seem to have gotten worse every year, which is hard to accomplish since they were about the worst team in the country when they hired Miller.

Beating IUPUI at their place is a good win for WIU.

IUPUI led Inidana for most of the game a week ago.

Two D-1 road wins already for coach MO.

Mo is such a huge improvement over there, in many ways. When he gets his two sons over there with him, along with some other decent players, they'll be very competitive in that league.
By the way, does any one know why his eldest was suspended 4 games? His forst game back he scored 26 points and appears to be PC's best player.
