BTW - ex-BU recruit Justin Gant has had several good games in a row..

BTW..I wish Justin Gant would have come to BU. I really like his game!

Justin is just coming into his own. Unlike some other big kids, Justin was very skinny and needed to build strength and adjust to the physical game of the MVC. But he was always very skilled. I expect to see his game continue to improve. He didn't rebound well today, but in Indiana State's 3 MVC games he has had 18, 18, and 12 points.

a minute from the end of the 1st half in Bloomington, UNI is ahead of the high scoring ISU Redbirds 29-22

Missouri State at Drake - MSU ahead - trying to prove Drake is doomed to the basement of the league 24-14

SIU at Evansville about to start on CSN & FSN (channels 56, 57 on Comcast)

[Da Coach]

Jackie Carmichael has a double-double at halftime- 11 points, 10 rebounds. But ISU is shooting only 37%, and just 1-8 from three. UNI leads 29-22 at halftime

Aces' arena more than 1/2 empty
announcers said that Marty Simmons brought Colt Ryan back from injury too soon (for IU game) and it cost him as he had to sit Ryan out again yet another game

both teams shooting poorly early on - SIU going with a 5-guard lineup and doing better than when they had Daniels in the post

In the ISU game with 11 min to go forwards John Ekey and John Wilkins both remain scoreless...Carmichael is carrying them

also Marty appears to have gained all that weight back that he had lost...
