About the time I think Missouri State might be legit I watch them play and watch Dana coach then I change my mind.

Dana is now 2-9 against Ben Jacobson and one of those was half of the weird COVID back to backs.

Jake is also now 12-3 all time at JQH/GSB Arena.


Good win for UNI. No doubt. Not taking anything away from them. But I had no idea what MSU was doing on either end of the floor the last five minutes of the game.


We turned on the game at 5:52. Once it got under 3 minutes, I looked at my partner and said "Now we see the real Dana Ford team come out." His teams can't finish games when it matters. They might sneak one every now and then, but overall they just get outcoached or outsmarted in close games.

The last 2 plays of the UNI game, you take a contested deep 3 from Mason (I believe) that went in, but you're screwed if it doesn't. Then you either don't run or don't have a last possession short clock play, drive 1 on 3 to the hoop, and dish for a rushed 3 down 2. Just smh

Interesting take. I thought on the last possession, they wanted to drive for 2 and OT, and took dished for the 3 as a second choice. Not a bad plan.

The 3-pointer was wide open. I thought it was a good play.

Murray/Evansville need to be weekend games every year. Awesome crowd.

Wardle ran off another guard. Bradley had so many already. Seems bad

Seems that everybody turned up, except the Aces. Murray led by 27 a moment ago.

Racers with a statement win on the road. Loving the rivalry deepening with Evansville and SIU. Wish we had Evansville's Ford Center. :Yea!:

Huge Racers win at Evansville 81-59! Murray St has won three in a row and Steve Prohm has got this team playing strong defense, better shot selection and playing a deeper bench! Awesome win today against a very good Evansville team at Ford Center! Love this arena! Go Racers!
