2 MVC games today

[Da Coach]

There are 2 MVC games today-
Bradley hosts Missouri State at 7:00 PM, and Loyola is playing now at Northern Iowa (3:00 PM start).
Loyola looks a bit more inspired, and is hanging in the game at UNI.
It is a low-scoring game, with both teams shooting poorly.
Loyola (0-5) leads UNI (2-3)- 26-24 early in the 2nd half- The game is on Comcast SportsNet, and on ESPN3 outside the Valley Network areas-

Tough draw for Loyola - gotta go to UNI but if they can upset the Panthers and
.. if BU can pick up a win vs. Missouri State, can you believe that Bradley will pull into a TIE for 6th place in the Valley and only ONE game behind ISU who sits in 5th..

GO Braves!!!

halfway there..
loyola beat UNI 51-41 in a chippy game with a lot of sloppy play and bad shooting.
UNI loses their 4th in the last 5 and Ben Jacobson was not a happy camper...
the handshake line was very cold...

UNI has no depth..nothing off the bench-- their bench was 1-7 & just 2 pts..
Loyola shuffled their lineup and got 26 points off the bench



BTW- Winthrop beat Liberty 74-58, and Jimmy Gavin wins the battle of the ex-BU Braves over Anthony Fields..
Gavin 19 pts, 3 rebs, 3 asst - - Fields 2 pts, 1 reb, 2 asst

Check what NBA star Evan Turner says about Jimmy Gavin...he thinks Gavin has NBA skills
"Lots of NBA teams could use Jimmy Gavin from Winthrop rt now, got great one v one skills, deep range, lefty s curry in the making"
