Bradley @ Indiana State (12/31/11 - noon)

[isumvc1]

a win is a win, but I just have a feeling that UNI is going to kill us Weds. in Frosty Falls

Also worth noting that Odum added 3 steals in this one and has raised his free throw percentage above 70% hitting 21 of his last 24 after an awful start to the season.

RJ Mahurin added 3 blocks and took 4 charges - things that go unnoticed that made a big difference in this one.

At 0-2, and losers of 5 straight, Bradley is who we thought they were.

Current picks for Thursday:
SIU
Bradley
Evansville
????

The fourth play in team will probably be pretty decent.

Nice win for Indiana State today but we got lucky. Bradley came to play and ISU didn't for the first half. If ISU hadn't played better in the 2nd half, I think Bradley walks out of Hulman Center with a W.

How profound...

Starting to look like ISUb might be a play in team. They are not real solid on offense and Drake proved their defense is smoke and mirrors.

Laughable. Almost - dare I say - trying to provoke a certain type of response.

Drake has been absolutely dynamite at home recently, and ISU always struggles against Bradley. Always. In 09-10, both games went to OT and the teams split the series. Last year, ISUb won both games by a combined total of 16 points.

ISU may be having their struggles right now, but they're 10-3 (9-3 without Maryville) and have the same conference record as the immortal Wichita State and Creighton teams. Please don't try to bring the screamers out of the woodwork. It just causes problems for everyone.

Struggling to beat Bradley & losing to the bulldogs certainly isn't a NCAA dance card resume!

It may not have been an impressive win but the second half WAS very impressive. We played bad in the first half but in the end we got the job done. The last two games may not have been impressive or help our NCAA resume...but a win @ Vanderbilt will prove to be the best non-conference Valley win unless something in the Bracketbusters surprises me.
