we have to pick up a win if there's any chance at all of getting out of Thursday
With a win we'd have A CHANCE TO BE only 1 game behind ISU and could pick up that game when we play them here

nice to see ya back on board fan-9
this'll give us a 2-game winning streak going into a possibly winnable game at Indiana State!

If Doyle is out an extended period of time the "coveted" 6th seed is still on the table.

All these games are huge games.

But then again, If you can hardly beat Mo State at home without their best player maybe it's not worth discussing or even getting excited about

the Doyle topic is being discussed on several MVC message boards..he will miss his 3rd game Wednesday and some speculation he's also out this weekend...
Nobody knows how long he will be out...but the shoulder doesn't need time off - that was already determined early in the season - it's the current ankle thing, and that generally needs no more than a couple weeks - so we'll see if he's back by Feb.

I agree. I still think BU will only win 2 more games during the regular season. They've won two games against 2 of the 3 worst teams in the MVC, the third being BU. BU will beat Drake on Wednesday and maybe Loyola here. They will lose all other games. This team doesn't play good enough defense to win on the road and their offense is only good for 20 minutes on the road, at best. Thus, I don't look for them to win a road game.

It's looking more and more like we have a clear top 5 (Wichita, UNI, ISU Blue, Evansville and ISU Red) and a clear bottom 5 (Loyola, BU, SIU, Missouri St and Drake). BU should be tied for 6th, assuming we beat Drake, with Loyola after Wednesday as Loyola plays at Wichita, SIU plays at home against SIU and MSU plays at ISU Red. I think it's very possible that 7 Valley wins could get you 6th. As long as we win Wednesday that would mean we would need 4 wins for that scenario. I think even this team could do that right?

I'll have what bigjimmy is having.....

Make it a double.

Is this the battle of the two worst coaches in the MVC?

[Da Coach]

That is arguable. I'd put Porter Moser in the worst 2.

BU 2014-15 Future..

What did BU do to win their last game? Can they do it again? Do they have the physical skills to improve? Can they play better with more experience playing together?

Another motivating factor: change at BU... If any players perceive changes coming to BU are going to affect their future college bb playing opportunities, at BU or elsewhere, you can bet they will play their butts off the rest of this season.
