Northern Iowa at Illinois State - 7pm

I've seen this game as a pickem to UNI as a 1.5 point favorite. Should be a good one.

I am very worried about this one. Hopefully the Ohio game was an aberration. I'll say UNI wins by making FT's late.

50/50 type game. I don't expect anything less than an extremely close, hard fought game like usual.

For as dominant as UNI has been in this series in the last few years, the games have been remarkably close. Hopefully UNI can find a way to win again.

This is a game I wouldn't mind seeing.

Well UNI struggled for most of the half offensively, but the defense kept them close. Tied 28-28 at half. Will mention it made a difference when Nic Moore went out with 2 fouls.

The fans at RBA get a basketball game, and a concert too! :buddies:

I don't know if it is our big guys or what, but Jackie Carmichael is looking like Kevin Garnett right now.

ISU can miss a 3 pointer, while we can't buy a bucket. Illinois State playing well.

ISU 56
UNI 44

7:44 left to play.

I haven't seen UNI play but one other game this year but they sure seem to shoot the 3 ball a ton.

Looks like Missouri State isn't the only one ruining things for the Valley come March...
