Final: Illinois State 70 Bradley 54

[Da Coach]

Kirk Wessler seems bummed that the BU-ISU rivalry isn't what it used to be.
Does he realize that he got exactly what he asked for?

I've been saying for years that the rivalries have been over. Seems to me it's been trending downward since Molinari's years??¦.not just with ISU but pretty much all the teams in the MVC??¦.I don't know that it's anyone's fault??¦.

to get the best "rivalry" you gotta have the coaching element that KW touches on............
if we had Gregg Marshall and they had Stallings - I guarantee we'd have a heated rivalry

I got a good chuckle out of KW's article on the rivalry.....liked his last line - "Great rivalries are made of better stuff." So are good sports writers, which neither he or Reynolds are. Hang it up KW and go away.
