SIU's Sean O'Brien, who Bradley recruited, had a nice game - 19 pts on 5-6 from the field with 3-4 from 3-pt
Anthony Beane went scoreless, Cleanthony Early had 23.

ISU had a somewhat wild and out of control games...especially the 2nd half...
Their leading scorer Daishon Knight jacked took 19 shots, making only 5, and as a team they went only 10-31 after the break (& just 1-5 in OT) to let MSU back in the game...
... a key turning point was right at the end of the 1st half...
ISU was up by 10, then Zach Lofton picked up a technical jawing at the refs - Dan Muller benched him nearly all of the 2nd half and the game swung around...with MSU battling back and outscoring ISU 35-25 in the 2nd half to take it to overtime.

One other game - not MVC...but Wisconsin played at Northwestern last night on ESPN...
The game was a blowout 76-49 - Wisconsin ran out to a 26 pt 1st half lead and was never challenged...
Wisconsin is loaded with UN-athletic looking guys like Dekker, Brust, Gasser - but they are all unselfish, smart, know how to play and can make baskets..

Yes, you are right about Wisc. being loaded with UNI looking guys. Brust was a recruit we missed out on and he's had a great career at Wisc.
