Here is a scoreboard to follow the 2 MVC games--

The SIU-UCLA gamne is on ESPN2 at 4:00 pm CST.

The ISU-Alabama State game starts at 5:00 pm and is the first game of the SMU Classic in Dallas. It is not on TV anywhere that I can find, but can be followed by Gametracker--

Non-conference opponents are 13-12 coming into today, but that's due to four teams having a 9-1 record. The other seven teams have a 4-11 record.
 
No self-respecting DI should lose to a SWAC team.

If ISU loses to Alabama State it will do irreparable damage to the Valley.
 
UCLA went over 9 minutes without a field goal, and yet SIU simply could not take advantage...BTW Booker has 3 fouls also
 
12 min to go , UCLA up 48-43, as poorly as UCLA is shooting, they have never trailed
Total fouls are virtually even (5 on each team so far this half) yet SIU fans think they're getting jobbed
 
SIU suddenly starts getting careless, turnovers, and gambling on defense, leading to a 9-0 run by UCLA as they go up 57-48
Fay not effective at all as he keeps going back into the 3-pt mode and roaming the periphery.
UCLA up 59-50, game is on ESPN2 - 7:40 to play
 
warm up the bus...UCLA now has a nearly 20 point lead.
What gives, SIU folds about the 30 minute mark of each game?
Mullins with a bad game as well...7 pts, no rebs, one asst. a few turnovers and 4 fouls
 
And just like last night, SIU can't keep it close in the last 10 minutes. UCLA is up 18 with under 4 mins left. The UCLA run started with several TOs by Mullins, the same guy whose implosion cost them a preseason game vs SLU last season, and at least one conference game (I can't remember which one). He's a dang good PG, I just don't get why he suddenly gets so lazy in these games.

On a side note, UCLA just had an amazing sequence of a steal, behind the back pass, breakaway, another behind the back pass and Aboya finished with a dunk. It is especially impressive because both passes weren't showy, they were the most efficient way to get the ball to a teammate given the defensive positioning. I'm sure it will be a top 1-2 play of the day.
 
I hope it helps their RPI to play a good team away from home since it won't help much else,
as SIU goes to 2-2 , but 1-2 in the NCAA eyes since the win against a DII is worthless.
 
ISU 40
Bama State 22

HALFTIME

Birds shooting 43% from trey ( 6-14)

Eldridge 13 points and 5 boards
Oguchi 9 points and 4 boards
Phillips 7 points and 4 assists

You think that playing two games away from home against top 20 teams won't help SIU in any way other than with their RPI? Really?? Huh.
I guess BU going on the road and getting beat by FLA and MSU this year is going to be a complete waste of time for us as well, then...oh, well, except for the RPI boost.
 
That really surprises me....ISU had a nearly 20 pt lead going into the 2nd half...
then gives up 49 points in the 2nd half to a team that'll likely end up with RPI over 300, and hold on for a 6 pt win.

this ended up being just a 2-pt game in the final minute!!!
