Next Game- SIU at Bradley Tuesday, 6:00 pm

You need to skip that class. Just say something is wrong with your leg or something

Oh, the irony...

Actually it's a once-a-week class and I can't go next week either, so...

Vegas has Bradley favored by 1.5 points (see the 523-524 game). I'm assuming that includes them factoring in the absence of Ruffin and Warren.

I got my sled ready to carry booze back from the liquor store. And it will do double duty comin down from the hilltop if it has to, although the trip back up will be much harder.. I plan to be there around 5:30 at the latest. Thank god last class is over at 1:15 (think I could start there? )

Seriously, I'm a little surprised we are favored in this game considering we are missing 2 of our 5 starters. I have confidence in the Braves at home but didn't think the Vegas oddsmakers would considering SIU's national recognition. My guess is the line will move to at least a Pick 'Em before game time. The injury list has Anthony Thompson out for the year with an ankle injury.. Did I miss something or are they wrong?

I checked the tv listing for the game on my cable box, and I think it's being broadcast in High-Def. Very surprising. But going to be cool for those of us who have to watch at home.

Looks like the snow is going to end way before the original noon expectation. Snow will be done about 3am with about 3-4 inches in Peoria. However that wind will kick up and cause some travel difficulties for the non city dwellers. So much for possibility of school being cancelled LOL.

Jason

Oh my goodness. I woke up this morning and the sun still came up.

Thank goodness we actually waited for "mother nature" to finish her job before half the western world shut down because of the POSSIBILITY of 3-4 inches of snow!

Now....GAME ON!

Just for the record...here are the records.........

In Valley games BU is 5-3 at home (lost their first 3 home conf. games to UNI, WSU, and Drake,
and BU is 4-4 on the road in the Valley (won at UNI, WSU, Evansville, and Drake)

Bradley is a one-point favorite in this game and I say we just barely cover that!

70 - SIU
72 - Bradley

Yes....that should end any at-large hopes for the mighty Salukis!

[J Money]

I really don't see us scoring 72 points but I hope you're right. I think if we score 70 we win by double digits.

[BUBrave28]

Wow, this is again surprising. Bradley is one of the top 5 consensus picks for the day with 65% of people picking Bradley to cover from 1-1.5 points. Drake is the top consensus pick overall, -1.5 at Missouri St with 75% of bets. I guess their W at Butler doesn't even put them as a favorite at Missouri St!! I'd take that in a heartbeat.

By the way.. I'll take Bradley and over 129.5, TCS nails two FTs to secure the W.
BU - 67
SIU - 64

We are 9-1 ATS in our last 10 games. Let's keep showing people what we got.
