MSU will be a tough test for the Braves, and they will be smartin' from losing that double-digit lead at CU. With JC injured, I don't know if BU can pull this one out.

Evansville has the bigs to compete with Coleman and Stout, but I still see UNI winning this one.
 
Dilligard was at least leading the team in shooting percentage at 60.4%. Richardson and Eldridge have had a tough time finding the basket. I understand Moser's interest in team defense, but for a team struggling to score this could be a problem.
 
So PM thinks Osiris is ready to start and give big minutes.
We'll see.............

The team needs a spark and Osiris has been the 'Birds best offensive player the last 2 games. His defense has been solid and that's as much the reason he's getting the promotion as anything else. Eldridge has become more agressive in taking the ball to the hole and drawing fouls. His shot is gaining accuracy and he isn't turning it over.

Like you said, we'll see. In watching several games in person this season, he has progressed to the point where he has earned the promotion. Besides, I think Fortes is better suited to provide offense off the bench.
 
My predictions:

CU wins easily
BU wins in a nail biter
WSU upsets SIU on the road (WSU is desparate to even things out)
UNI wins easily (they can't possibly lose at home to Evansville, can they? :D )

with 5 minutes to play, Osiris is 7-13 from the floor, including 6-8 from 3. I guess he's ready.

I will agree, he is at least one of the five best options, so he probably does deserve the start, but the inconsistency will show.
Yesterday, OE was 1-6 from long (plus 1 asst, 4 TO), and the team was 4-24 overall, with Boo only netting one point.

The one player Porter Moser needs to play more in Levi Dyer.
He is a little like Jay Tunnell and can maybe be a little like Grant Stout.
He is big but he has an outside game, and that would be hard to defend. I am not sure why PM with the lack of size he has on that team hasn't play Dyer more.
