Good start to the season. Keep it going guys.

Great win tonight fellas! I saw a lot of familiar faces in the IUPUI crowd tonight... Dodie Dunson, Drew Warren... and even Big Mike.

Andrew Warren & Dodie Dunson both at the game

AW looks bored.

More great team play, active defense, great free throw shooting. The only negative I took from this game is that Will did some dumb things for a 6th year player. He did some great things as well, but he needs to be smarter.

Listened to the radio feed while watching the game, Dave and Chad are really starting to click. I'll probably watch at least part of it again to see how the new TV team did.

The TV crew did a good job. The kid calling the play by play looks like he doesn't shave yet, but he calls a real nice game.

Speaking of the game, any of you who own businesses who advertise should give Bobby a call and help them out. It looked like they only had 2 or 3 paid local sponsors (Methodist, Green Chevy, and I can't think of the third).

Drake down 10 pts at Detroit 37-27
UNI beats N. Dakota 72-47
Indiana State 72-57 over Truman State
Missouri State with a bad loss 60-44 at home to San Diego State
Wichita State wins 69-50 over Howard

I wouldn't call the MSU loss to San Diego State a bad loss in terms of the quality of the opponent MSU played. But losing by 16 was bad. I would have expected at least a little closer game, but MSU may struggle this year and the Aztecs do have Sweet 16 potential again.

Congrats to the Braves for a great win! Once again, any road win this year will be a great win. Hopefully we get a few more road wins than one this year. And we'll definitely have to play a lot better, especially on defense to beat South Florida at their place this coming week.

Geez, Barry what are you doing playing a monastery with a bunch of monks??

We got some strange named non-Division I opponents in the Valley this year. UNI played a team called Wartburg earlier this month, and Missouri St. played a team called Philander Smith!

I couldn't make these names up if I tried!

Seriously though, if Valley teams are going to schedule creme puffs early in the season, at least schedule Division I teams. Beating these non-Division I no-names won't help anyone come Selection Sunday.

Wartburg is a little D-III school in Waverly, IA, similar to Eureka College.

This was a genuinely entertaining game. I don't expect this team to win much, but hopefully they can be fun to watch. Really like Pickett. Who knows maybe we will all be pleasantly surprised this year.
