[Da Coach]

Too bad the NIU-Illinois game is only on ESPN360. I'd like to watch it. The rare time Bruce agrees to play an in-state school, and nobody will get to see it. Also, NIU and possibly Illinois are future BU opponents.

SIU is playing another D-II??

Oh well....that's probably still bolder scheduling than lining up SIUE, North Florida, UIC, Norfolk State, SEMO, St. Bonaventure, and CMU all in a row

[Da Coach]

4 MVC teams in action tonight.

[Da Coach]

Bradley's 2 opponents so far- BYU and Idaho State- play each other tonight in Provo Utah.
Expect a BYU blowout, since Idaho State will be a little tired after their long road trip that saw them play at Iowa State Friday, Bradley Sunday, and Provo, Utah tonight.

BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is calling this a "rivalry" game-

Indiana State took down Wisconsin-Milwaukee 76-63.

Wofford and Georgia are in the middle of the first half, Wofford leads 19-8.

Also not really a game of interest.... but Tennessee is up 31-5 on UNC Asheville.

[bugregshu]

Wofford - 29
Georgia - 26

Halftime



Tennessee is also ahead 57-8 on UNC Asheville. WOW. UNC-A is 0-22 from the field. I don't remember the last time I saw a team go 0-fer in a half. There are a little over 3 minutes left in the half.

This is when they should allow the woman's team to play!

[BUBraves2006]

I love not having Comcast anymore ...

NIU looks good and isn't rattled at all on the Illini's home floor. If it weren't for Brandon Paul, they'd be getting killed. 21-18 Illini at under 12 TO.

[BUBraves2006]

Err ... so much for that - the Illini have really turned it on. ILL 34 NIU 22 7:30 left

[Da Coach]

Drake's defense is stellar again tonight-
They trail Iowa State 51-32 at halftime at Drake.

That's pathetic ... but, could it be possible that ISU (Yellow n' Red) is that good, too?

WOW! NIU finishes the half on a 14-3 run including a half court shot at the buzzer!!! 49-41 ILL halftime

[bugregshu]

Wofford beats Georgia 60-57. If anyone was listening to that game, it was a definite nail-biter.

Iowa St is going to be good this year and should contend for an NCAA bid.

The NIU score is quite surprising considering their best player is out with a broken hand. Perhaps the Illini freshmen are mortal after all.

A big, experienced guard like Dodie was one of the reasons I thought we'd have a chance against the Illini. Not having him anymore really, really hurts in that regard.
