That's hometown Cedar Rapids ref-ing!

Tonight, Indy State's 6'9" center, Emondre Rickman, is going to sit against Drake with a concussion.

Fun game at SIU Arena. Barry's boys lead 35-34. MSU seems to be playing a lot better the last couple weeks.

Meanwhile, the Redbirds look terrible as expected.

MO St having a difficult time trying to stop Sean Lloyd. They keep answering back with buckets. 68-63 SIU late in the second half

Drake wins 90-76 over Indiana State. Reed Timmer has 39 points. Drake won the rebounding also. Everyone scored well.

SIU beats MSU by about 0.3 seconds in overtime. A tip-in that would have won it for the Bears was just a bit too late.

Fun game. Wouldn't mind a rematch of that one in STL.

Man, the results just haven't been there for us but I love the way we've been playing since the home game against Indiana State. Yes we're 2-3 in that stretch but we've been in every game and could very easily have gone 4-1 or 5-0. We should have a better year next year but it may still be tough sledding depending on how much talent other schools retain and how quickly their new talent comes together. But I can't wait to see where we are in two years in 2019-2020 when all these freshmen and sophomores are juniors and seniors and we've had a couple of recruiting classes to supplement them. I have a feeling we're going to be pretty good pretty soon.

Drake has a foot in the door for Friday. I believe that a scenario where they tie Evansville at 9–9 and lose a tiebreaker for 6th, although it's unlikely.

Evelyn is gonna be a problem for this league. Loved seeing Richardson lock him up, but he's also a senior and was the only one who could seem to keep him under control. Future is certainly bright for Valpo.

Yeah. I know everyone in the conference has this argument with injuries and so forth but if only Joe Burton had kept himself academically eligible. I have a feeling we'd at least be somewhere in the middle of the pack. I think his presence could have flipped some of these close losses into wins.
