Game 8 Results & Season To Date Standings - 2012-13 MVC Regular Season Game Pick Em Contest!
One big upset, one small upset (darn Redbirds), and one forlorn BU fanbase...
Pretty much sums it up for Game 8 in the MVC....
If only CU could have beat DU, there would have been 17 participants with 5/5 in Game 8
... But not to be.... more on this game later! It does involve a small shiny circular piece of copper!
Game 8 Scores
Drake 74 .............. Creighton 69
First DU win over ranked team in 5 yrs! CU regained lead 52-51 with 7 min left, but couldn't hold on
Illinois State 58 ..... Indiana State 53
Redbirds late 7-0 run put ISUR in command.. ISUB RJ Mahurin's 3pt shot at the buzzer to win, wouldn't go down
UNI 58 ................. Southern Illinois 45
Panthers lead as big as 20 in 2H and they hold on to win 3 of last 4. Dantiel and Desmar lead SIU... Hinson's sense of humor challenged..
Wichita State 62 ... at Missouri State 52
Cleanthony goes for 17, WSU wins 3rd straight.. MSU drops 4th in a row, despite Fr Gavin Thurman's 21 pts...
Evansville 66 ......... Bradley 56
Colt gets 19, mostly in 2H and EU shoots 50% from the floor. BU gets 22 from WL, but, only 3pts from their bench, and shoots only 38% from the floor... Amazing it was this close.
Home Teams continue to rule in the MVC with 4/5 Home Teams winning Game 8....

Season To Date Standings
Through Game 8
DC maintains a stranglehold on 1st Place with an impressive 4/5 in Game 8. He has a slim lead over Chico and JMM28, with beninator and Valleyclimber clinging to a longshot chances at the half way lead two back of DC! Six more at 3 back would need to pick lots of long shots and have them come through to catch DC for FH lead.
THE PENNY thought it had a good thing going picking DU over CU, but, the ISUB let him down big time vs ISUR and prevented him from gaining on DC, slipping one more game behind!
Can DC hold on in Game 9 and claim FH crown? GET YOUR GAME 9 PICKS IN TO STOP HIM!
