Bradley is a 10.5 point favorite over Valparaiso

Drake-SIU about to tip off on CBSSN with BU implications.

Drake loses and they’re BU’s opponent in the 4-5 game.

Drake wins and we’re waiting for the UNI-Loyola game to see if we draw the Ramblers. Technically MSU would be possible but that would require a massive Evansville upset.

[Mikovio]

Drake’s DJ Wilkins injured, couldn’t put any weight on his leg. Looks bad.

[Da Coach]

Drake has a 14 point halftime lead over SIU. SIU is just 1-11 from three and getting very little inside; just 12 points in the paint compared to 24 for Drake.

D.J. Wilkins is apparently out for the rest of the game with what is being described as a knee inkury. He is on crutches with an ice bag on the knee. It does not sound good, but I suspect they plan to get more tests later.


Illinois State lead Indiana State 44-36 at halftime, and has stretched that to 53-36 by scoring the first 9 points of the 2nd half-

Indiana State seems to have quit after the first half. Illinois State has now outscored the Sycamores 22-8 in the 2nd half to stretch the lead to 66-44

On the other hand, after going 1-11 from three in the first half, SIU is now 5-5 from three in the 2nd half and has cut Drake's lead to two points, 44-42

Illinois State beats Indiana State 86-66. It's the first win under Interim Head Coach Brian Jones.

In a wild finish, Drake holds on to beat SIU 62-60. Marcus Domask missed a shot at the buzzer which would have tied it-

SIU finishes 9-9 and all alone in 6th place.
Drake finishes 13-5 and awaits the outcome of Missouri State-Evansville and Loyola-UNI

[Big Mike]

Anyone else hate SIU more than Illinois state? They have become my most hated Valley rival in the last few years especially with loyola leaving valley.

[Da Coach]

Loyola 87 UNI 87 at end of regulation. Headed to OT.

[Da Coach]

UNI beats Loyola in OT 102-96
UNI is the regular season champion.

I believe that means Bradley vs Loyola next Friday afternoon.

[MacabreMob]

UNI beats Loyola in OT 102-96
UNI is the regular season champion.

I believe that means Bradley vs Loyola next Friday afternoon.

Yes - we draw Loyola now
