Maybe this is not a good year for the MVC....

Illinois State is getting absolutely schooled by Georgia -
At half it's Georgia 47 - ISU 26
Holy cow - this is a team that plenty of people pointed to as the best team in the Valley, as capable of making a deep run in the post-season, as a Top-50 team.
Yarbrough is 5-9 and has 14 pts but their entire starting lineup has zero assists and the entire team besides Yarbrough are 4-18 shooting

ISU is starting to make a run but they have a long way to go...

[mvcfan]

ISU is struggling to say the least. Totally out of sink and nobody appears to be able to guard.

Tm Crean has some players including former Bradley recruit Jojo Toppin- he will make them relevant altho right now they are kinda wild & undisciplined

[tornado]

Fayne fouls out with about 12 min to go - they are in deep trouble
altho Fayne was completely ineffective had only 3 pts 1 rebound
Georgia up by 25 now

[tornado]

ISU making a run and Georgia doing their best to chuck some wild shots & help ISU out..
Yarbrough has 20 but on 18 shots & he has 6 turnovers, Tinsley's hit 3 treys in a row - lots of 1-on-1 play

[tornado]

this kind of a game against a team with such a big front line will help them...
..but they really missed Fayne

[tornado]

Final Score
Georgia 80 - ISU 68

Yarbrough 20 but 7 TO
Fayne just 3 pts (foul trouble) and 1 rebound
Tinsley 14
Evans 12
Copeland 9
Idowu 2 pts, seemed gassed and didn't play much- really could have used him with Fayne out
Gassman barely played, scoreless as well as Jefferson
Chastain 2 pts on a nice putback late in the game
Hein 6 pts but 0 asst


and at the Paradise Jam, UNI 21 - Old Dominion 16 with about 4 min left in the 1st half
This game is also being streamed but PM me - since there are a few trick to see it...
odd seeing the clock they are using keeps the time in the last minute in 100th's of a second - right now 38:03 seconds left..

update - 1st half score
UNI 26 - ODU 21
Old Dominion really lucky to be this close - they are shooting extremely poorly (31% overall 12.5% from 3-pt)
..while UNI is hitting 46% from 3-pt (6-13)

ISU will play Akron tomorrow and not Clemson, as Clemson beat Akron 72-69
That game will START at 10am Central time and should also be streamed via the Facebook site

https://www.facebook.com/StadiumCollegeBasketball

Akron has former Bradley recruit Loren Jackson, Jr....son of Walt Lemon's former high school coach at Chicago Julian...
Jackson scored 25 points today, hit 5-12 from the arc and single-handedly kept Akron in the game

[Da Coach]

Northern Iowa holds on for a 54-53 win against Old Dominion to go 2-1 in the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas and improve their record to 3-2-

In odd twist of fate, the next game on Northern Iowa's schedule is a road game Friday (Nov. 23) at Old Dominion.

So they will play Old Dominion in back to back games 4 days apart!

SIU plays Howard University in Carbondale at 7:00 PM as part of the Continental Tire Las Vegas Holiday Tournament

[tornado]

I can't find any pictures but most of the chatter on Twitter is about how ugly Missouri State's alternate jerseys are
...apparently they have yellow in the color scheme??

They are maroon with yellow-gold horizontal bands and multiple stripes. I do not find them appealing.

Loyola plays a strong 2nd half and wins...Missouri State loses to Nebraska
so now the Valley is 2-2

but Howard is beating SIU currently...36-27
