MVC games Thursday 11/20

Yea Bguy10, SIUc is looking good. I'm thinking 2nd maybe 3rd MVC with possible spoiler in St louis for another trip to the NCAA. Fay really is GOOD!

The future looks bright for (some of) the MVC.

Fay looks awesome. He has improved a ton from last year. He reminds me a lot of Matt Shaw.
Fay looks to like he is everything that we were hoping Egolf would develop into when he came to BU...Time will tell if Egolf can get to that level at some point in his college career. We certainly need him to.
 
WOW, dirty foul there by SIU's Boyle I think it was. Duke player almost had his head clobbered by the backboard on a dunk when Boyle plowed into him from behind. Flagrant foul called and Duke is runnin away with it now.

Looks like RedbirdFan21 has the wrong LOCK of the year. (right now) Maybe Duke -12 1/2 was better play for the bettor than Vandy -6. ;) UIUC has looked good at times and Vandy has lost a lot from last year.
 
Well Duke gonna take the 25+ point win against SIU. Pretty much dominated all aspects of the game but gotta give some credit to SIU for keeping it close 25 minutes of the game. Until I see how Creighton plays again, unfortunately no valley team looks real strong at this point in the season.

That was my point, that I think BU's speed can expose SIU's foul tendencies. Much like we did against UIC. We'll see though, still have quite a few games in between the BU/SIU clash.

Must be regional viewing for that ESPN360 link you posted MacabreMob, it's only offering live view for the Florida game here on my screen in Peoria.

There are Regional Blackouts... but I did have to wait til I got the game going. I don't get my internet from Peo area - maybe why I get the game.

65-63 UIUC

Only about 1:38 left

Final 83-58.

SIU will play the loser of the UCLA/Mich game.

Watched the entire game, and here is my take. The SIU freshmen looked good at times, but I don't understand Lowery's tendency to play 3 or 4 of them at a time. The freshmen just don't play the typical SIU game, take quick shots, take low-percentage shots, get beat too many times on defense, then reach and get fouls. And as I said before, none of them are real good shooters, but they all seem to have the green light to launch quick shots.
This game was still a winnable game after 32+ minutes, but it got away from them when they didn't take care of the ball, took bad shots, and stopped playing SIU defense. I don't think I've ever seen a team go from 7 points down to nearly 30 points down as fast as SIU did in this game.
I still think they will be a top 3-4 team in the MVC, but their outside shooting woes will hurt them.
 
Well, UIUC wins on the road 69-63.

"I guess Vandy won't be much this year." (that's my "drive-by" statement like Lee Hall's comment when Bradley beat Michigan) LOL! ;)

Very true... it was definitely one of those games that looked too good to be true...and it was.

U of I is going to be a team that will beat Wisconsin on the road and lose to Tennessee State (wait that was last year...) at home... gonna be inconsistent all year and that is why I would never bet on them... solid road W for the Illini

Unfortunately for SIU, they took too many bad shots in the first half when they had the chance to pull way ahead of Duke. Maybe if Duke spots SIU a 15 point lead, they still come back and win. But the momentum would have made it more difficult for Duke to come back.

Anyway, these are the type of games that the Valley needs to win to climb up to the next level. Games against great teams on neutral sites don't come up often, and I think SIU had a good shot blown tonight. That said, they are still a relatively young team and probably not quite at the level of Duke to say the least. But sooner or later we need to steal one of those.
