It's interesting to see what other conferences are doing to save a few bucks. How about drawing fans to games like the Valley does?

You sure TB's expected to play tomorrow... I thought I had heard otherwise...

That's correct. From the PJS.......

Bradley will have to play one more contest without forward Taylor Brown, who is serving a two-game suspension for violation of team rules.

Idaho State has a couple Illinois connections...and many of their players and coaches have midwest connections...

In addition, Alvin Brooks III is a 2003 grad of Idaho State, but did not play for the present coaching staff.



Head Coach Joe O'Brien perviously coached at Lincoln College, and is a 4-year letterman at Monmouth (IL) College, also coached at Southeast Iowa CC.

Assistant coach Geoff Alexander is a WIU grad and grad assistant at WIU, and played at Southeastern (Iowa) CC.

Assistant coach, DBO Cody Van Fleet went to WIU, and was an assistant at both Iowa and Southeastern CC...originally from Dallas City, IL. (80 mi. due west of Peoria)

their center, Deividas Busma is from Lithuania but his nickname is Ivan Drago because of his reported resemblance to the big Russian boxing character in the Rocky films. (Rocky IV)
Both Demetrius Monroe and Austin Kilpatrick had dads who were drafted by the NBA.

My source had it wrong. No biggie... I'll switch it up a little.

I agree we win. I don't think Bradley has the offensive fire power again this year to reach 79 points many times, if at all.

I dunno, we'll see, if SM and AW are hitting, maybe with TB, CRob, DD, and anything out of the 5... I think it could happen more than we might expect at this stage. Then again, it's pretty early to tell things like that. But having a shooter like AW (SM is not that shooter, though he tried to play it last year), might really open things up.

haha I say we get 79 points or greater only once this year

If this is true, make Coach and Snell stop picking a Magic # that's almost 70... It's killing our chances to win!!!

Good article Electric. But if you think WE has an opportunity for a huge game, why did you only pick him to score 3 pts in the pick'em?

We came close tonight...

It's because DD went off. He won't be back the rest of the season and I'm willing to bet we don't go for 50% from 3 again this season....I think I have a betting problem.
