Was the defense for both teams that good, or was the offense that bad? Aces shooting 39%, Ramblers 36%. Probably a combination of the two.

Ramblers surge from down 8 to beat evansville 66-59. Marques Townes should be in the running for newcomer of the week as he absolutely took over in the second half. Scoring 17 of his 19 points.

Thik Bol expected to make a return tomorrow on New Year's Eve in Carbondale against the Drake Bulldogs. It will be interesting to see how Pippen and Bol play when on the floor together.

A Blues Band will play in the lobby of the Saluki Arena for hour before the game Ought to be very interesting experience indeed!

Bradley taking it to Northern Iowa, up 16 under 8 to play

This is more of what I expected of UNI this year. They were a big surprise the first few months to me.

Offensively defecient, inconsistent and no game changers. Koch and Carlson are just not two guys you can rely on regularly to lead the way.

Keyshawn Evans out today with a knee injury. Uh oh.

Bradley over UNI 72-53. This is the Bradley team we saw in the non-con and why we were collectively freaking out over the Drake loss.

Drake up 10 at the half at SIU.

Bulldogs nearly choke away a 14 point lead in the last 5 minutes, but survive 70-67. I don't think many predicted a 2-0 start for the 'dogs.

And, they've already won more games than either of the previous 2 seasons.
