Will Thad Matta have all the Presbyterian fans kicked out, or will he show a little more class than Roy Williams?
Creighton is in severe need of help for their terrible RPI and won't get it tonight against Savannah State.

Creighton is in severe need of help for their terrible RPI and won't get it tonight against Savannah State.

I think CU has quit looking at RPI. At 3 and 5 non con so far it is touney win or no dance.

I say ISU will lose tonight to Ohio by a fairly large margin (8 or more points).

[Tulsa Brave]

Ohio State blasts Presbyterian 78-48.
Ohio blows out Illinois State 75-57.
Creighton cruises past Savannah State 77-62.
Loyola closes on an 8-0 run to nip Bradley on a 3 at the buzzer 68-65.

BU may have stunk it up but there were two games last night that were uglier...

probably the ugliest game last night was DePaul losing at home to American who came into the game at 1-8...
American's starters shot 12-31 but they still won 62-57

President Obama's brother-in-law Craig Robinson brought his Oregon State squad into Chicago and played UIC.
UIC was 1-7, Oregon State was 4-4 but had been picked in the upper half of the Pac-10 this season in a virtual tie with Arizona!
UIC won 63-61...
Oregon State has one of the top ranked Illinois high schoolers from last year, Angus Brandt...but Brandt has struggled, has scored in only 4 of the 9 Oregon State games, shoots 12% from 3-pt, and avg. 2ppg.

Uglier than ISU's a$$ kickin'? Brutal.

[tornado]

Hey-- after the way BU got beat last night, I am not going to say a thing about ISU -
anyway....you wanna see the height of fan discontent..go read the posts by Redbird fans saying they'd be better off without OE and wish he'd have gone pro last year!
(not to mention a heavy helping of attaks on several of their other players)

At least I never unload and heap insults at our own players...never...
