Yes, Coleman will continue to come off the bench. This weekend is so scary, IMO. NIU is relatively unknown under Ricardo Patton...Cal Poly has 3 returning starters from a team that almost made the NCAA tournament...and UMass has an impressive recruiting class coming in with a ton of athletes returning. UNI's quickness (greatly diminished with Ahlegbe and Reed currently out) is going to meet an early test. Should be a great weekend of hoops. Good thing UNI is going to go 10-11 deep right now, b/c they will need it with 3 games in 48 hours.

Good luck Braves this upcoming week! Lots of MVC pride will hopefully be on display!

For all you gamblers out there, Creighton is only a 3 point favorite, which to me is way too close a spread. I think CU will dominate.

[houstontxbrave]

A couple of early updates

Drake up 19-12 11 to go in first

SLU down 15-14 9 to go in first to NC A&T

Brown beat E Mich 74-55

[houstontxbrave]

Half Drake up 40-28

SLU losing 26-25 half

[BUBraves2006]

DePaul is killing Creighton early, 20-6 with 11 minutes left in the first half. The Jays look TERRIBLE and the Blue Demons look really good with their new players.

I'm watching it on TV in Chicago, it's being broadcast up here. It's also available on the MVC.tv package.

Creighton is getting back in the game a bit with some good defense, it's 25-13.

[SaintLouBrave22]

Ok...

Thanks for the updates then!

[BUBraves2006]

You're welcome!

DePaul 29
Creighton 25
Under 4 timeout

Creighton really isn't all that impressive in getting back into the game, but a young, inexperienced DePaul team has had 11 turnovers already (many unforced). Creighton has done a good job of playing their system and it's paying off so far.

I found a cool little Gamtracker feature which is better than any game play-by-play I have seen before...

Anyone wanting to keep track of the CU game along w/ BUB's insight can go here:

BTW...Millard seems to be impressive for CU so far w/ 8 pts and 2 rb
