Bradley's record against Chicago State is 14-0 after their win this year. I think all 14 games that Bradley played have been in Peoria.

But today's SIU-Chicago State game was played at CSU.
Can anyone explain why SIU would play at Chicago State? Chicago State is notorious for playing as many road games as they possible can to earn money to support their D1 program, since they get little revenue otherwise. Why would anyone agree to play them in their little campus arena?

Indiana State 3 pt winner over Pepperdine - go figure - they beat ranked Notre Dame by 13 then lose to Tulsa, and barely squeak by Pepperdine & Alaska-Anchorage!

Drake beats Northern Arizona by 20

Bradley by 20 over UTPA

SIU & Evansville lose
...BTW - we scheduled and played an away game at Chicago early in the Molinari era in 1993.

Missouri State down 47-34 to UVa, ISU plays in about an hour against San Francisco

[tornado]

In the late game - ISU beats San Francisco 90-76 who never got things going against ISU after falling behind 2-0 before the game even started on a2 FT technical for dunking in warmups!
it was 34-28 at half but over the final 19 minutes it was never less than 10 pts.

Both teams shot 27 3-point attempts, but USF hit only 4 of theirs, while ISU hit 13.

MVC goes 4-3 on Saturday

Interesting. I noticed several of the UT Pan American players were dunking in the pregame warmup just minutes before last night's game. They looked around and saw that the officials were not out on the floor for some reason. The officials, who normally stand near half court and watch the pregame warmups, finally made an appearance when the warmups ended and the game was about to start.

A silly rule anyway. If you can dunk during the game, why not in pre-game warmups? Next thing they'll say no 3 point shooting in pre- game warmups.

I agree, but I believe this rule was put in place after a couple instances where rims or backboards were damaged, causing delays or postponements in games.
