First post...Thursday Night predictions and Friday Matchups?

[BirdsEyeView]

Don’t really think either game will be close on a Thursday.

Caught some of the Evansville-Southern game on Saturday and the Aces looked healthy and that they could contend with any team in the country.

With that said:

Aces by 20
Mo State by 10

Woah "any team in the country"?????

Let's not overreact here.

I said “contend” not beat. When they lost by 60 at Duke they had 46 ppg hurt on the bench.

With 46 points more they only lose to Duke at Cameron Indoor by 14. I call that contending.

Of course they might not get 46 more that game but that is my thought process

Just found the comment interesting given the seed you have in the 8th best conference in America. And, yes I know Hill has been out .

Illinois State has had 1 player available for every game this year due to injuries (Tinsley) and yet I still don't think we can contend with Villanova or Virginia at full strength. Unless contending = 14 point losses, but in my books a double digit loss is not contending.

Sweet! UNI lost to North Carolina by 15, Villanova by 14 and Xavier by 10. I guess that means we're 'contending' for a national title.

Room for San Antonioo Booked!

Ha ha...

I only meant to say that Evansville is better than results have shown. I am not an EU fan I just think they wouldn’t have gotten embarrassed if healthy. My definition of contending is competing (I.e. having a chance of winning).

Didn’t mean to fetch so much sarcasm...

Is Darrell Brown playing?

[Dean Wormer]

UE 39
UNI 34

In a game that is declared the ugliest game in the history of collegiate basketball, surpassing the previous ugliest one, the last UNI-UE meeting, the Aces survive the wrestling match with Taylor finally hitting two threes in the last minute.

Will Jacobson mandate all flopping be within 3 feet of actual contact?
Will Marty wear a black or navy sweater vest?
Will either team have 20 points by halftime?

MSU 108
Valpo 65

Despite the best efforts of Lusk, the talent of Alize and company finally gets around the coaching and shows their true ability. Valpo is late due to driving to Detroit before realizing they are supposed to be in St Louis.

Will Lusk be rewarded with an extension after the game?
Will Bradford play after Dan Mueller bails him out of jail, mistakenly assuming it is one of his players?
