This game can be seen on FoxSportsMidwest network, and the Sunshine network (now called Fox Sun Sports).

Slow start to the Wichita State-Tennessee game- both teams are cold shooting and a lot of turnovers. WSU leads 4-2 with 15:34 left in the first half-

At the half

UT 30
WSU 28

WSU needs to come out in the second half and make a statement on UT's home court. A loss would be yet another big blow for the MVC.

WSU blows a second half lead and loses to UT. Another bad loss for MVC's "elite".

Here is an interesting score from tonight-
Anderson University 65
College of Charleston 49

Anderson University is a small Baptist Division II school from Anderson, South Carolina. College of Charleston was having a pretty good year with a win over ranked Baylor. But they were dominated tonight by Anderson, who lead for all but a few seconds early in the game. But even more interesting is that this game was an exhibition game for Anderson, but a regular season game for Charleston.

And Tennessee beat Wichita State 69-60-

It sounds like CoC may be having some team or chemistry issues at the moment. This loss comes off their 42 point blow-out loss to Louisville in Charleston. This team is too good to lose to a team like Anderson... AT HOME! Something's definitely up in Charleston.

outscored 12-1 to finish the game......ugh...missed ft's and a few questionable calls against them too.

Another score of interest- Eureka College from Eureka, Illinois (a Division III school) played Texas Pan-American tonight in Edinburg, Texas. They didn't have the same luck as Anderson did at C of C. UTPA won 92-64-

Well that's a shame that WSU could not pull this game out, but that's what happens when a team faces a former Valley coach. I'm sure Cuonzo knows all of the nuiances of the Shockers team, and that gave him a bit of an advantage. Plus this was the quality win Tennessee desperately needed. Unfortunately a Shocker's win would have all but cinched an NCAA Tournament bid. But now the door for them being left out has been open a crack, though they still should have enough quality wins to be in.

looks like Cleanthony Early had a horrible game - missed every shot and fouledo out

[Da Coach]

He took some really bad shots early, and was pulled out of the game. He never looked good the rest of the game.

Maybe it's a season to enjoy some BU success whether the Valley gets 1, 2, or 3 bids. I'm not all bent out of shape about the Valley this season - didn't expect much going into the season anyways.
2 bids would be nice, but even 1 wouldn't surprise me. As people have pointed out, not many great wins in the non-conf.

Some big games on Saturday - maybe our last chance as a conference to get some quality wins...potentially the 2 biggest wins of the non-conf. if UNI wins at Iowa and CU wins at Cal.
