watching the ESPN3 broadcast of SIU and Oakland - they are really letting them play...
only a minute til half and just 11 fouls called and nobody's going to the line
it's so night and day different even tho there's the same kind of contact that a week ago was netting 25-30 fouls per half -
ISU is currently leading #2 Maryland. 41-39 with a little under 16 minutes left in the game. The Game is on CBS Sports (531 or HD on 963 on Comcast).Comment

ISU played a great game, but Maryland came back and put the game away late at the Cancun Challenge. ISU still not getting anything from their bench.
Maryland 77 ISU 66

Frustrating that MVC teams have had good opportunities against ranked teams then fell short in the 2nd half.
Would have been nice to have multiple wins over ranked teams instead of one the media can spin as a tough road game without their top player..
ISU also getting very few assists...playing more 1-on-1
SIU quietly goes to 5-0 - they are passing well - had 20 assists as a team, 3 times what ISU had.
Salukis don't go deep - they play basically just a 7-man rotation with just 3 guys taking almost 2/3 of their shots.
Drake strangely is getting almost NOTHING from their experienced veterans!
Enevold 0 pts/4 reb, Rivers 2 pts/3 rebs/0 asst, Arogundade 0 pts, 4 rebs, 0 asst, Madison 5 pts/0 rebs
Thus far in five games (2-3), of Drake's top five scorers, FOUR are NEW GUYS (Abrahamson, Woodard, Olejnikzak, Schlatter - plus Timmer)
...fouls were down again - averaging just over 30 for the MVC games last night - instead of the 50 we were seeing early on..Comment
