With a win, we could very well be in 3rd place all alone....


My how things have changed in such a short time...


Just think if we had beaten SIU here...

[Majik45]

An ISU win @ WSU would make for a 3 way tie for 2nd place (assuming we win tonight) with a huge showdown in Normal on Saturday.

I expect WSU to take care of business at home tonight.

I expect WSU to take care of business at home tonight.

I agree. I don't know how many teams are going to win a game there this season. They are beatable when they are on the road, but at home they seem to protect their court pretty well.

I really don't see anyone winning there in that environment...

Toughest place to play IMO

Lines per Bodog

BU -2 1/2
MSU -14
UNI -14 1/2
WSU -6 1/2

That UNI line is in my opinion way way out of wack. I know UNI is at home but is Drake really 15 points worse then UNI?

I am taking all the road dogs except CU, I think BU covers.

I'll take MSU and Wichita and the points... Missouri State wins by 18, Wichita State wins by 13

BUT I will agree w/ you on UNI...UNI by 9.


I refuse to comment on the BU game...we all should know why...

[LittleBrave]

I'm not even going to pay attention to the other games until after the BU game. The middle of the pack will likely be jammed until the final week, so if we do our part, we will rise above!
Would like to see a domination over Creighton tonight like 2 years ago at Carver, when Sammy and Drew shined in the 1st half.
Both teams will be hungry for a W.

If all the home teams win BU is in 3rd alone. One game out of second and three out of first.

I like all the home teams to win, I do not like the big numbers and all the home teams covering.

I really like the Redbirds and Drake covering their numbers. More I think about it I might like MSU but man 14 is a HUGE number even against Eville. Vegas really does not think much of Drake and its 5 game winning streak. I find that number incredible.

[Majik45]

Yeah, I can't believe the Drake number either, especially when UNI plays more of a slow down game usually in the 60's, so a 15 point win is a lot for them.
