I flipped it on my MVC package ... MSU had a couple terrible turnovers right at the end ... definitely could have won it...

We need to take out MS there to make up for our home loss!

The Yahoo links above are slow to post box scores--

Here is the box score for the Evansville-Indiana St. game.
Evansville wins on the road. They shoot 18-46, get outrebounded 35-28, and Matt Webster scores 1 point and has 2 total rebounds! Indiana State's 2 fine freshmen, Stinson and Holmstrom have hit a wall, and are terrible lately. Together they were 4-19, and 2-12 from 3,

Creighton also wins on the road at Missouri State. The MSU fans are livid on their board, and the Bears fade from contention. Funk and Tolliver have big games, but none of MSU's starters play well.

And Wichita struggled without their leader P.J. Couisnard, who missed the game against Drake with a dislocated thumb. Drake played well and all 5 starters scored in double figures. Drake also outrebounded WSU 42-32. Korver has fallen off the map, though, zero points. Wichita got a huge game from Ogirri, after several bad games, he scored 29 points.
Drake 77 WSU 82--

..........freshmen, ...have hit a wall, and are terrible lately.

I know one Valley freshman who has NOT hit the wall, who's been doing fine lately, and helping his team win.
He had 6pt, 3 reb, 1 asst in 21 minutes last night, and played fine defense.
