I will take UE in a close game. Seems like every time they play it comes down to the wire. Brown goes off for 30.

Drake eliminates Bradley.

Evansville and Indiana State will not be a one possession game again. I have no clue who will win, but I'm gonna stick my neck out and say that one team figures the other out and wins by double digits.

Bradley/Drake is going to Bradley. Wardle has done some good work with the Braves this season, and I think it'll continue. Matter of fact, I'm going to say that WSU will have a game on their hands against Bradley for about 30 minutes on Friday, until the legs wear out on the Peoria-ites.

Or none of what I said could happen. Who the heck knows??? Valley basketball is always fun! :bounce:

I won't be confident until I see BU Dude's prediction of the games.

I think the Bradley/Drake game is interesting from a WSU fan perspective. I will go with Bradley because I think Wardle is actually building something. And I won't feel super great about Friday.

Might sound funny, but @Bradley and @Drake were the only remotely competitive WSU games in the last 6 weeks.

I'm an Indiana State fan and I think we will lose to Evansville tomorrow. I also disagree strongly with the assumption that Lansing is a better coach than Marty. They are both pretty lousy coaches to be honest. I think if Indiana State beats Evansville they will either lose a close game against ILST or they will lose by 25+. There is no in between with this team.

The Bradley / Drake game is a toss up, but I picked Bradley in my bracket, due to the fact that Drake has lost 9 in a row. Neither team has a chance of beating Wichita State.

Does Evansville not have any interest in trying to win tomorrow?

Why is Jaylon Brown out there along with a bunch of other starters with a 23 point lead? :Bam:

Probably the best 33 minutes UE has played all year on both ends of the court. Bring on the Redbirds.

Survive and advance. You can't win the whole thing unless you win the first game. You don't rest players and pace yourself. The last 3 minutes was a good example of that.

Gotta shoot better from the FT line. I think tomorrow's game will be competitive.
