ISU Starting strong, we cannot let that fine academic institution out-do us!

[bigjimmy]

ISU Redbirds lead Louisville 33-25 at the half. They are playing like they feel they belong on the same court as the #5 team in the country. Hope we can too.

I hope the win but Louisville makes a habit of wearing teams down in the second half with all their pressure....

[SFP]

Hate to say it but the Il St. is looking pretty good right now against Louisville. 50-45 with 10 minutes left. They are going inside out and hitting their 3s.

[bigjimmy]

ISU leads 52-48 with 10:41 left. Shooting 60% so far. We'll certainly have to do that to beat Michigan.

[bigjimmy]

Brown has 23 for ISU. Louisville's best player is on the bench with 4 fouls. ISU leads 55-51 with 10:00 left. ISU is starting to turn the ball over against their press. Better watch out.

[BUBalum05]

ISU got hosed on a no call with time expiring as they tried to put up a 3 to tie it. Home town officials spare Louisville an upset. Lou 69 ISU 66.

It was a bad call but I know if there would have been an upset...IF he makes 3 ft's it's still OT

[Tulsa Brave]

How bad is Missouri State? They are getting absolutely hammered at home by what is a very medicre ORU team (compared to the past couple years).

Well bad call or not, this is the second time this year that one of the Valley's top 4 teams lose to Louisville by one possession. Close only counts so much. Our teams have to actually beat teams like this once in awhile, and not let the game come down to a blown call with no time left!

Bad enough where Bradley should hopefully sweep them!

[Da Coach]

Bad enough where Bradley should hopefully sweep them!

Even after their last 2 losses to a couple pretty good teams, South Carolina and SMU, there were Missouri State fans questioning if Coach Paul Lusk was the wrong choice for a coach! I wonder what they'll be saying now!

[tornado]

Evansville loses to Colorado St. 79-72, Colt Ryan with 20 - the kid that killed us last year and had a few here predicting he'd be dominating - Ryan Sawville had zero pts & zero rebs

Creighton 80 - St. Joe's 51, McD 23

New Mexico 77 - InSU 68 - Odum 25 pts

UIC wins at Northwestern 50-44, and there goes Northwestern's at-large potential - fizzle...
