Bradley at Indiana State 1 pm
Valpo at Missouri State 1 pm
Loyola at Drake 2 pm
Evansville at Illinois State 3 pm

Trivia questions-

1- who are the only two Indiana State players with their numbers retired? (I know everyone can get one of them)
2- who was the last Indiana State player to play in the NBA?
3- who was the most recent Indiana State player drafted by the NBA?

Here are the answers - just mouse over to view...

1- Larry Bird & Duane Klueh (who played for them in the 40's when they were NAIA)
2- Larry Bird when he retired in 1992 - no other Sycamore has played in the NBA since
3- Alex Gilbert was drafted in 1980 - so was Carl Nicks, but Nicks was drafted first round, Gilbert later in the 6th
