In the Southern Illinois game at St. Louis University tonight, transfer Marcus Bartley will play his first game for SIU. He suffered a broken bone in his shooting hand in a preseason practice and has not played yet. He played his first 2 seasons at St. Louis, and left in 2016, transferred to SIU, and sat out the 2016-17 season.
He averaged 4.9 ppg as a freshman there, and 3.8 ppg as a sophomore. -
The Loyola game at Florida is on the SEC Network. Loyola is playing well and leads 29-19 with 6 minutes left in the first half.
The SIU game at St. Louis is on FoxSports Midwest. SIU leads 23-28 with under 8 minutes left in the first half.
Indiana State leads in the first half at North Texas, and Drake is tied at South Dakota 27-27 with 8 minutes left in first half.
Also, the ISU game at Brigham Young at 8:00 Central is on the BYU Network for those who get that.Comment

Loyola continues to lead #5 ranked Florida 32-27 with a little over a minute left in the first half. However, Loyola guard Clayton Custer was just helped off the floor after what looked like at least a severe left ankle sprain or perhaps more serious.

Valley teams are leading in 3 of the games tonight
but not ISU...they look horrible and outmatched...
late in the first half they trail BYU 28-7 and yet they keep jacking up 3's from way beyond the arc...
Yarbrough is 0-2, Tinsley 0-4, Bruninga scoreless..
They better turn it around fast...Comment

Loyola shooting extremely well still leads late in their game at Florida
Drake hung close at South Dakota at the half, but they have been outscored 40-15 in the 2nd half and are now getting blown out-
Indiana State playing well is still leading at North Texas State late in their game-
And Southern Illinois shooting well and still leading at St. Louis late in their game-
Illinois State is getting clobbered at BYU. They are shooting 18% and are 0-12 from three. Dan Muller has even resorted to playing his deep reserves and even walkons Luke Litwiller and Isaac Gassman to try to make a point with his starters. BYU leads 30-13 with about 3 minutes left in the first half-

When Bradley plays the Redbirds, the Braves can defend 5 on 4 and leave Tinsley unguarded. What a disappointment!Comment

Drake loses to South Dakota 93-65-
Indiana State loses in overtime at North Texas State 79-76-
Loyola pulls off the biggest upset of the year by an MVC team by winning at #5 ranked Florida 65-59-
SIU loses a close game at St. Louis 74-69-
And ISU is 0-15 from three and 7-30 overall, and their defense has been poor as they trail BYU 39-17 at halftime-

It really defies logic, and I think he'll eventually pull out of this slump, hopefully not against Bradley. He is 0-5 overall and 0-4 from three so far in this game tonight. On the season he is now 10-54 (18.5%) overall from the floor, and 6-40 (15.4%) from three.Originally posted by YATittle View PostComment

Hope the Hofbrau has split pea soup tomorrow.Comment

I almost posted earlier that it would be something if Loyola put it off, but I figured I would jinx them. Glad I kept my mouth shut! What a huge win!!Comment

SIU played well, shot well and led almost the whole way, then a few missed FTs and turnovers down the stretch..
Final score
Saint Louis 74 - SIU 69
Indiana State also had the lead thru most of OT then a couple fouls & miscues, and they lose
North Texas 79 - Indiana State 76
Loyola 65 - #5 Florida 59
South Dakota State 93 - Drake 65
so MVC looks like they will go 1-4Comment
-
This ISU game makes me wonder how many "extra scholarships" Muller is gonna free up at the end of this season to get some consistent offense and some players who commit to defense... or who can just stay healthyComment
-
Bruninga is having his best game since the FGCU opener. 15 points with about 6 minutes to go.Comment
-
I applaud the Redbirds for playing hard in the 2nd half...but don't you think the BYU defense let up a little, and TB does hurt a bit on defense trying to guard Childs and getting eaten alive on every play...
Every couple minutes some BYU guy is setting a career high in shooting, rebounding or assists..
Valley record goes to 60-26Comment
