[Da Coach]

There are 3 MVC games today (Sat. Feb. 17)-

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard/_/group/18/date/20180217

1:00 PM CT- SIU at Indiana State- espn3.com - Indiana State favored by 2??
5:00 PM CT- Northern Iowa at Illinois State- espn3.com - UNI favored by 1 point
8:00 PM CT- Bradley at Valparaiso- MVC TV Network and espn3.com - Valpo favored by 2?? points

In each game, the team that is lower in the standings is favored to win.
The biggest surprise is that UNI, the 9th place team, is favored to beat ISU (tied for 4th) at Redbird Arena.
In the other 2 games, the lower team is also favored, but probably because of the home court.

Coach W...Please remind this team again that the dimensions of the court are the same whether in the PCC or (fill in the blank). I suspect there will be a good group of BU fans on hand, so close to Chicago. Pretend it's a home game, and you will do fine.

So far good news from Terre Haute as SIU leads ISU Blue 42-32 at the half.

[battlebasset]

Exactly...

UNI leads ISU 37-26 at halftime in Normal

[bigjimmy]

In 10 minutes ISU has outscored UNI 16 points and lead 56-51 with just under 10:00 to go

[bigjimmy]

The game was fairly close the rest of the way but the Redbirds held off UNI to win 79-75. Malilk Yarborough was dominate in the 2nd half and ended leading the Redbirds with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists and just 2 turnovers. He??™ll certainly will make 1sr team all-MVC and has a good chance to be the POY.
