Nice win Wichita! I should have given you a few more points than I did on the spread.

Almost nailed the MSU game. Only off by a point.

Loyola leading by 2 with 13:28 left.

Need to head to Vegas. Soon.

Let's hope the last 2 predictions are correct as well.

Now that was SIUs "Super Bowl" game. Largest crowd, white out, students showed up. SIU dominated the 10 mins coming out of the 2nd half and lead by 12...they then scored 3 points the final 8 minutes of the game. Ran zero offense just held the ball till the shot clock ran out. Northern is by no means "back" they did not have to play well to beat SIU. This feels like the Evansville home loss last year; it effectively ends SIUs season. They will finish 5 or 6 now.

Horrible offense by SIU the last few possessions, but that "flail" call to give UNI to win should never get called.

Didn't seem that bad of a call from my view. SIU just played terrible the final 8 mins. Now the Drake game I felt robbed. The refs screwed us a couple times late in that game. The league admitted today that they blew the travel call in OT that cost us the chance to tie it.

2 away from the ISU spread. On fire tonight until Southern decided to stop playing basketball.

Oh well. Refs bailed UNI out again...

UNI is still not there but funny to see which fan bases look nervous...

I watched most of the game. I don't think UNI outplayed SIU. I think SIU pissed down their legs and UNI capitalized on it. The foul at the end was a definite bailout. UNI seems to get their fair share of those (they certainly did against Loyola the other night). Sans the Drake game, UNI has constantly been behind by double-digits, only to make a late comeback, with some very favorable officiating, and has snuck out with a 2OT win and a 1 point win. I thought Loyola and SIU both looked like the better teams overall. UNI fans are going to feel differently since their team has won 3 in a row, but they're still 3-5 and I think have been on the favorable side of the luck meter the last week.

Is this a serious quote? UNI even in their wins has looked like utter trash. None of the top half is nervous.

Mo State fans....how frustrating must Chris Kendrix be??

He has so much ability in talent. I look at the box scores and he hardly plays some games...then looks like he did today versus Bradley. I've seen him do that on more than one occasion. He is so much better than Ruder and Kreklow---but is he that big of a head case??

Bradley played better today. It wasn't embarassing. Mo State was up 59-55 but then scored ten straight to put it away in the last six minutes. Dequon Miller was a stud today. Made every big shot and ran the offense.

Bradley's two freshmen guards played pretty well--Darrell Brown didn't shoot well but played aggressively and Jayden Hodgson had 16 points in 35 minutes...both career highs by a mile.
