[bucheer16]

Besides our beloved Brave @ E'ville 8:05 ET we have the following:

ISU(red) @ ISU(Blue) 7:05 ET

WSU @ Drake 8:05 ET

Now ISU vs ISU is a wash for me and i'm pulling for Drake and the upset. If Drake wins tonight, they are my second valentine

Wow, Wichita loses again. One of the biggest season collapses in recent memory....

[Da Coach]

They have competetion from Northern Iowa. They lead the league at about the midway point of the league schedule. They were 4-0 on 1/6/07 and 6-2 on 1/20/07. They have now lost 7 of their last 8 league games! Their next MVC game is at Bradley. They have lost 4 home games this year! UNI fans are wishing they had McDermott back!

Guess we can officially put that whole 'Ben Jacobsen is a lock for Valley Coach of the Year' nonsense to bed now.

Your should-be MVC COY lives in Peoria, IL. Whether or not he gets it or not is another thing.

I wasn 't totally sure 'til I heard the Jimmy Les version of the Drake game, thanks to WEEK. COY fo' sure!

Sean Ogirri of Wichita State did not play in the game at Drake. He sprained his ankle in practice and sat out the game. Sounds like they could have used him.
The Shockers have already had some injury problems with Matt Braeuer missing games with a concussion, and PJ Couisnard with a thumb injury.--
