I have directly, foxsports Midwest 671 is going with the blues tomorrow night, but there is a 671-1 alternate of their main channel that is carrying the valley games. Idk if the other cable services have that alternate but that’s where I’m going to have to watch.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostGotta stop feeding the trolls.

Illinois State has gotten hot again and cut Drake's lead from 17 points down to 4 with about 7 minutes left-

Things getting very interesting. 6:10 left and the Drake lead is now 59-54. Zach Copeland left the game when ISU was down 17 and hasn’t been back since. He got hit in the head by a teammate in the first halfComment

9-0 run in the last 3:00 now has Drake up 68-54. ISU just looks like they’ve hit the wall and will be taking their talents back to Bloomington-NormalComment

ISU got close, but they still have no answer for Drake's Liam Robbins. Robbins has turned into a terrific player. He plays every possession like he is doing an instructional video for big men. He doesn't take bad shots, he sets near-perfect screens, he doesn't foul often, he doesn't turn the ball over much for as often as he gets it inside, and he has become an outstanding passer.
Drake is pulling away and now leads 68-54 with 3:05 left.Comment

First ten minutes of the 2nd did in ISU. They got as close as 5 before Drake pulled away to win 75-65. They will play UNI at 12:05 tomorrowComment

ISU will be fine. They just need to regroup. I’m sure Dan will have them in real good shape next year!Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.Comment

One interesting stat.... Drake's Jonah Jackson was a lightly recruited junior college kid from John A. Logan CC near Carbondale. His only other offers were from Abilene Christian and Louisiana Monroe. He was 5-6 from the floor tonight, and all 6 shots were from three point, for 15 points. This season he is 65-165 (39.4%) overall, and 65-161 (40.4%) from three. He was 0-4 on 2-point shots, and all 65 shots he has made this season are three pointers! He is the epitome of a designated 3-point shooter, and all he does is help Drake win. It's another example of how much value a kid has if he can make shots, especially threes.
Bradley has had great shooters like Trevor Trimpe, Aaron Zobrist, Anthony Parker, Jeremy Crouch, Will Franklin, Andrew Warren, and Nate Kennell. All those players rank inside the top 10 all-time career 3-point percentage leaders for Bradley. And all 7 of them played on winning teams that posted multiple 20+ win seasons and all 7 of them played in multiple post-season tournaments. It takes great shooters to win, and I hope the Bradley coaches continue to recruit such great shootersComment

Drake for the most part played pretty well in this game other than some turnovers that allowed ISU back in the game. Won’t be able to afford to do that against UNI. 4 players score 15 or more points with Liam Robbins leading all scorers with 18. They ended up shooting 25-48, 9-20 from the field and outrebounded the Redbirds by 8 and had 18 assists to ISU’s 9. Leading scorer for ISU was Keith Fisher with 14. Zach Copeland had 11 for the game which all came in the first half. He was sat down around the 13:00 minute mark of the 2nd half and didn’t come back in for almost 10:00. I’m sure the ISU fan base will have fun with that decision by Mueller.Comment

Evansville might have more band members than fans at the game. Gotta think they will be playing free and easy tonight while all of the pressure will be on Valpo. I’m rooting for da Purple AcesComment
