Then next weekend is the MVC/MWC challenge, so we'll have a separate thread for all those games.

Should be at least 7 and 2 out of these games, but I'm not in the betting mood about it.

Should be, but will probably find a way to end up 5 and 4

yep, 5-4 would be a good pick

3 games tonight, we'll see how many wins we can get

I figure Drake losing as a given, Bradley as a likely on the road, hoping for the ISUs and SIU to win at home but....

WSU and UE should have gimmes, though I expect Marshall will play his bench the entire second half while Marty leaves the starters in to score 30+. Loyola should be a walk over Norfolk. I don't want to guarantee a UNI win over George Mason, but if they are the team I hope they are, it shouldn't be close.

So 4 should wins, 1 almost certain loss, 4 I have no idea.

Damn, I miss 2005-06.

That depends on what you mean by bench. Marshall is going to shakeup who the starters are following how the team did in B4A.

A Bradley win tonight would be good. EIU isn't a bad team at all.

Can you elaborate on what you expect Marshall to do? I did hear he was going to bench Shaq but hadn't heard anything beyond that.

Haven't heard specifics, but there needs to be more than just that in my opinion.

Nurger for Shaq
Reaves is cleared to play, but will not
Looking to get good defenders scoring opportunities and good offensive players to commit to defense. I'd guess McDuffie starts. We will see in 30 minutes.
