You're right t, they're not a very good team. It's quite possible that Bradley crushed their spirit...

The real DePaul team must have arrived at halftime. Chicago State lead DePaul 44-30 at halftime, but DePaul has outscored Chicago State 26-9 to take a 2nd half lead -

And here is another score of interest-
Western Illinois pouring it on and pulling away from EIU in Charleston-

And it looks like UNI and Evansville are having good nights, while Missouri State and Drake are getting pounded.
SIU has a chance to win a road game at WKU-

[Tulsa Brave]

Tulsa is really bad this year, and Missouri State is losing badly to them. Another dreadful 3-point shooting night for the Bears...1-17 so far after their 2-26 performance the other night.

[BuBraves55]

USF hanging tough with 23 Oklahoma St. right now on the U.

SIU has a chance to win a road game at WKU-

But......they didn't.

[Tulsa Brave]

Finished 1-19...that makes them 3-45 from 3-point land the past 2 games.

not that I think we have a great chance for an at-large bid - but....
it seems that all teams we have beaten keep getting pummelled...
EIU can't beat anyone and has even lost to a DII
UTPA is 1-7 vs. DI's
IUPUI has not beaten a DI since before we beat them
Tenn-Martin has only one DI win vs. Kennesaw State and may be the worst team we've played
Central Mich & GWU are both mediocre
Even USF looks sickly tonight - just 45 points in the final minute and is gonna lose...
..and so the only team we've played that will be anywhere near the TOP 100 is Michigan and we did not beat them...
It's a wonder our SOS isn't 347



here's a surprise....
our RPI (per Warren Nolan) is .5508 - just BARELY behind Kentucky at .5551 - and our record is better (6-2 vs. 5-3)-- eat your heart out Calipari!!

Well, Kentucky must be playing cupcakes as well!

Regarding our opponents, we'll see what happens when we start playing teams from our conference. That's why I still think we only win 6 or 7 Valley games, but still that would be a lot better than last year.
