-

INDIANA STATE has a good chance to go 6-0 today and having NEVER yet had to play even once against any of the other TOP THREE teams in the MVC (Wichita State, UNI, Loyola)
What a favorable schedule for them so far....... -
Just saw the Xavier game vs Marquette...great game - right down to the wire..
Xavier wins 62-58, Abell's 15 pts led the team...
but one thing mentioned was that Xavier enjoys a 90% winning percentage on their home court...
90%!!!!
We use to have that kind of home dominance....
Bradley won 80% of all home games in the Fieldhouse and continued about 80% at Carver...
It was promised it would be a priority in the Geno Ford era...
Geno Ford's home court record is 37-24, about 60% winning pct...with one losing season - against a pretty weak slate of opponents..
(JL never had a losing season at home)Comment

Remy shot 5 for 9 from three, and it was mainly his shooting in the second half that pulled Xavier from an 11 point deficit to win the game.Originally posted by tornado View Post
He is shooting 42.5% from three this season, and his last season at Indiana, he shot 48.5%!
Not bad for someone that some claimed would never be a success at D1.
Remy is just a junior for Xavier. He might have been a senior at Bradley this year under different circumstances, and we wouldn't have such difficulty with zones.Comment

Wichita leads Evansville 28-18 at the half. It was close for the 1st 10 1/2 minutes but the Aces proceeded to go over 9 minutes without scoring until a D. J. Balentine 3 pointer with a few seconds left in the half. They had missed their previous 9 shots. Evansville, which was in the top 5 in NCAA FG%, shot just 33%. Wichita shot just 38% but had 6 offensive rebounds that they converted into points which helped them to their 10 point advantage.Comment

It's now 24 in a row in the MVC as Wichita goes on the road and beats Evansville 61-41 in their most impressive win this season. The Shockers never gave Evansville a chance in the 2nd half as 10 points was as close as the Purple Aces could get. D. J. Balentine had 16 but was held to 6-18 from the field, making just 1 shot in the 2nd half. Tekele Cotton was on him the whole game and just took Balentine out of it in the 2nd half. Darius Carter had a double double with 18 points and 11 rebounds and Ron Baker, who I think is the early favorite for the POY in the MVC, also had 18 points. Wichita held Evansville, who entered the game having the 3rd best FG% in the nation, to just 31%. Equidijus Mockevicious picked a bad time to play his worst game of the year for Evansville as he had just 2 points and fould out with 6 minutes left. It looks to me that the Shockers don't look like a team that's primed to be beat right now. Wichita shouldn't be challenged until they go to UNI on the 31stComment

Drake putting up a fight..
shooting 62% from the floor and leading Indiana State by two with only 22 sec to goComment

Drake wins 84-78 over Indiana State - I think the Sycamores lose a few more of their next few games...
...as they now have a tough stretch where six of their next seven games are against the top four other teams in the MVCComment

Congrats to the Drake Bulldogs on their 1st MVC win. The Bulldogs in the last 11 1/2 minutes made only 4 FG's but were 19 of 23 from the FT line, 8 for 8 in the last 30 seconds. Drake was 24-29 from 1, 24-37 from 2 and 12-17 from 3.Comment
