Game 3 Results and Season To Date Standings - 2012-13 MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em!

[AZ BU Fan]

Welcome bravesfan6 and BUBraves55 to the 2012-13 MVC Pick em Contest!

What a heart breaker for BU this afternoon. A spirited, but short handed, BU team had a late lead, and a late chance to tie, but couldn't get the job done at home today! Played hard.... Keep it up!

Tough weekend for Pick Em Contestants too as Game 3 was as difficult to pick correctly as Game 2 was easy!

Evansville 85 ........... Southern Illinois 68 ...... Evansville shot 57.7 from the floor, 50 percent from 3-point range and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line.
