Stickboy is reminding me of my 3 year old....lots of whining about things that don't matter and nobody can control.

I have no idea why you are so worked up about this. Be pissed at the league for only being able to get on to ESPNU in the middle of Sunday afternoon. The women's game has to be played at some point...


If UNI isn't getting a shootaround in the arena either .. then i agree it's a non-factor.

Pssh, this is a message board, not a court of law.

Back to relevant bb discussion versus a pissing match about a shoot around. My view of the valley after the first 2 games

WSU 17-1 (one loss at ISUR - I hate it)
ISUR 15-3 (losses at MSU, WSU and one other road loss)
MSU 12-6 (Johnson is the real deal after watching both of their games this week)
UNI 9-9 (Jacobson will get them turned around, hopefully after Sunday. I hope I'm wrong here because I don't want to see them on Sat in St. Louis)
EU 9-9 (Clearly the most improved team to my expectations)
ISUB 8-10
LU 7-11 (Mirage of non conf schedule is emerging)
BU 6-12 (Don't be fooled by yesterday. Shockers know how to blow out an overmatched opponents and take advantage of them-they will find a way to be respectable in many conference games. They are definitely improved and on the up swing)
SIU 5-13
Drake 2-16

WSU will lose 3 conf games and beat Il st by 2 games in standings for 1st. they will also be NIT bound when they pull their usual st Louis sat exit

Welcome to the board. For future reference it's UE not EU.

I would have to agree with your assessment. I would maybe flip ISUb and UE, but agree that Evansville is a LOT better than I thought they would be!

But they will avoid Bradley night, correct?
