IN ST attempting to make regular season title magic number 2 for us (against WSU). IN ST up 8 with 6:30 to go.


BTW - Creighton is losing by 23 to MO ST with 6 min to go.

That's remarkable considering how depleted InSt is.

Depaul lets yet another opportunity slip away at UCONN.

Can't believe WSU didn't blow Inst out of the water. Especially at home. That ISU team has nothing left.

Another tough road loss for Drake at ISUred. Josh Young misses a tying free throw with 1 second left. The Drake game on Wednesday will be a tough one for us.

Drake just lost at Normal when Josh Young missed a free throw that would have tied the game with one second left.

With tonight's results, UNI has a 6 game lead on 6th place with 5 Valley games to play and a 5 game lead on 3rd place. Holy crap, did anyone EVER think UNI would be in a position to guarantee a top-2 seed for Arch Madness this early? I always thought/hoped UNI would be able to get in position to contend for titles, but always had too much respect for the rest of the conference to think we could pull away by this much. Yes, the conference may be a little down, but our guys just keep doing what they need to do.

define "hot". They do not have their 3 best players. And only have 8 players in uniform. WSU should have won by 30.

Just quoting Rima. I could care less about the bottom of the Valley.

Old Dominion lost at VCU and dropped into a 2nd place tie in the CAA.

Old Dominion losing hurts..

Not unexpected though. I think the oddsmakers had them as a slight underdog. The three CAA games they've lost have been road games at George Mason, Northeastern, and VCU. Still have home games left with George Mason and VCU. Swept William and Mary. Don't play Northeastern twice though.

When you look at the schedule you realize they don't have any bad losses. Their non-conference losses were Dayton, Mississippi State, Missouri, and Richmond, and besides the G' Town win they also have beat A-10 leading Charlotte. They've played a tough schedule.

We've discussed at times the MVC expanding and we see an example with ODU of what happens sometimes in expanded conferences. They don't play Northeastern twice, got them on the road but no home game where ODU is undefeated.

Re: Games of interest 2/6-2/7

Caught the second half of the K-State/Iowa State game, while flipping channels between that and the BC/Duke game, and I guess I'm still surprised that Iowa State isn't any better on defense then they are, and I guess I should have stopped being surprised awhile back. I notice that they've given up at least 78 points in every Big 12 loss.

When you look at their schedule, they might only when one more game and that's Nebraska at home.

Wichita State with their win jumped to 37 today in the RPI. UNI is at 14.
