What a game by Will. This is a kid we almost did not offer and I cant imagine Bradley without Will the last two years. He played great in the NCAAs last year and with Ruff we have the best point guard combo in the MVC.
If Salley can play like this the rest of the year we can make the post season in a year no one gave us a chance!!!!!Comment

I wouldn't necessarily say USM will be a much easier game than Loyola. Sure, they played and feasted on cupcakes prior to Saturday's loss against a good Alabama team, but they got a 20 point deficit down to 8 in the waning stages of the game in Mobile, then lost by 13. Before he got into trouble at Iowa State, Larry Eustachy had a proven track record of success. He and their fans were pleased with the effort the Golden Eagles put up against the Crimson Tide.

. They're trying to build a basketball tradition in Hattiesburg and seem to be off to a good start. The game against Bradley will be their first true road test of the season, and certainly their biggest non-conference contest after Alabama. After us and prior to CUSA play, the only other "name" school on the Golden Eagle schedule is Auburn, which will be a home game for USM. Even with most students home on break, the kind of crowd Bradley will draw next week is something USM aspires to do.

Greg McDermott really thought they were robbed on this play.
(see photo link below)
But by the time Zach Andrews grabbed the rim, the ball had bounded away and was not going to have any chance of going in.
Even if he gets this call, the Cyclones pick up maybe one point and still lose.
The Iowa State fans moaned the entire game as if they were being jobbed by the refs, but they were the ones who chose the refs!
BU's RPI climbed just a bit more late last night and now sits at 70.
creighton drops to 103, the lowest RPI in the Valley.Comment

Doug Elgin needs to be sure to send Greg McDermott a bottle of wine for Christmas.
Iowa State is mightily reponsible for the MVC having a much better RPI than the Big XII.Comment

I agree DC what a nice stadium. I wonder if they have applied for NCAA tourney games. One of the ushers said it will hold 17,000 for BBall. As for the game I really liked the teams body language at time outs regardless of the crowd. I think they got used to winning last year and now just expect to win. The seem to walk with that swagger. I know I have said it before but this is a fun team to watch.Comment

Here is another article on the game from a different Iowa newspaper--
And here's an article about Rutgers. They looked terrible when we beat them in Chicago back on November 24. But they have now won 4 straight and are 5-5. Their RPI is still down at 233.
Their 4 wins are against Nebraska (RPI 122), New Hampshire (316), Princeton (166), and Iona (323). Things will get a little tougher for them soon as they will have to start play in the Big East. All 15 other Big East teams are above them in RPI-

Des Moines has applied for an NCAA regional, although no luck so far on the men's side. The arena will be hosting women's NCAA regional in a few years.Originally posted by New GuyComment

Wow, the RPI on Warren Nolan's site,
has jumped to 56 for Bradley, that's the fourth best in the MVC.
