Need the Drake today. Can't have UNI getting any more road wins.

Conventional wisdom says Creighton wins that game...but I think they're going to get all they can handle today.

I wouldn't mind the Trees getting a little revenge today on the Aces, but coming off that embarrassment Wednesday, I see an Evansville blowout.

My picks:

62 - Northern Iowa
66 - Drake

67 - Creighton
65 - Wichita State

61 - Indiana State
69 - Evansville

UNI-DRAKE is on ESPN2

15:24, 1st
13 - Northern Iowa
3 - Drake

[Da Coach]

Drake's perimeter defense isn't looking too good. UNI is killing them from the 3-point arc, and yet they keep playing a loose zone and keep leaving their shooters wide open.

[Big Mike]

uni is now 7-9 from the 3 in the first half....35-16....all du is doing is firing 3's.....UNI sitting in good position to go 6-1 Valley

[bluedevils1]

Well, their next game is against us. So keep on makin' them.

[real fan]

UNI very impressive , they are definitely a contender for the title, we need to check out the tape of the game they lost to IND.St. at home to see how they lost that game.

[IlliBraves]

Drake looks bad. Really bad.

[BU RICK]

Here's what I hope for. WSU 72 - CU 62. That would give us some separation from CU in the standings. The WSU 7 foot center looked good when we played them and I hope they go to him today. It's going to be an interesting two days to see how it all shakes out. Go Braves, lets win at SIU

[Bravesfan]

UNI up 56-26 with 15:50 to go!

Absolutely shocking! We will be LUCKY to split our two games with them this year.

[bluedevils1]

Home teams in the Valley are having a tough time this year. Maybe that bodes well for us the next two games...

[bluedevils1]

Ok, Illinois is the luckiest team ever. U of I / MSU anyone? Absurd.

Spartans are over-rated. j/k - UIUC is good... and lucky.
