I'm not so sure Creighton wins this game, but if ever there was a road game they needed to win, this one is it! Should be very close though.

I think UNI and WSU win by bigger margins than you predicted as Evansville and especially Drake are terrible this year, and let's hope Bradley can protect their home court and get this win against SIU. A somewhat improved SIU will give Bradley all they can handle, so I agree it will be pretty close. But I think Bradley does get the job done tonight.

If SIU wins the game tonight, then I'll be more of a believer in them. However, they really haven't beaten anyone of note other than their Valley home opener against Indiana State. I still find myself not believing they are much better than last year. As they say.......that's why they play the game.
