Final: ISU 59 Drake 69

[tornado]

ISU is cold and has only 4 points 10 minutes into the game at Drake...
Drake isn't exactly hot, but are up 13-4...

starters Kellen Thornton, Dinma Odiakosa, Osiris Eldridge, Alex Rubin, and Lloyd Phillips are a combined 1-13 thus far and 0-8 from 3pt

[Da Coach]

Osiris Eldridge is 0-4 from the field, ISU shooting 13%.


BTW- Osiris, the preseason POY, is 8th in scoring in MVC games. Taylor Brown, Andrew Warren, and Sam Maniscalco are all averaging more that OE.

16-6 under 7 min to go 1st half...ISU might still be in single digits in the 2nd half at this pace..

I gotta leave in a few minutes, so I will have to check back later....gotta go coach more indoor winter soccer

ISU looks worse that MSU looked at Bradley yesterday. Drake leading 35-15 at half.

[DeltaBrave03]

ISU down 35-15 announcers said it was a season low for one half for ISU. Looks like we got lucky catching drake at home when we did.

[Grassman]

Templeton 14 & Young 8 on fire, Isu not.
1/2 time Drake 35-Isu 15!

[Tulsa Brave]

35-15 at half. Can BU finish 3rd in the league this season? Win Wednesday and it's possible...

35-15 at half. Can BU finish 3rd in the league this season? Win Wednesday and it's possible...

It's possible with a loss on Weds. too... the conference season is only 1/3 over

15 halftime points! Has anyone checked the ISU fan boards for meltdown?

this is rediculous....

this can amuse me while i figure out how to get to peoria as my flight out of Atlanta was just cancelled.....ARGHHHHH

[Da Coach]

ISU made a run late in the second half with a flurry of threes.
But Drake held on for a 69-59 win. Osiris Eldridge had 0 points in the first half, but made a bunch of three pointers in the second (6-10) and ended up with 26 points. The last 5 minutes was a foul-fest by ISU just so they could get more possessions and pad their stats.
