If this holds the Valley is 7 up 3 down After last night debacle, I will take it.
Now, I really think The Salukis D will be enough to beat Butler.
This sounds really stupid, but I do not know how else to phrase it, whoever is making their shots will win the VCU-Bradley game.
Hopefully Appalachian St. is not nearly as good as Winthrop.
If they are The Shockers are in for a long day.
Those 2 Indiana Schools always scare me. They can be pretty good or they can be pretty bad.
We will know more at 11:00 PM tonite.
A great day. I am chairbound for the day.
Now if the D*** snow would stop!
