Jan. 20th Valley showdowns and predictions

[valleyclimber]

Here's how I see today's MVC slugfest going:

CU: 78
SIU: 73

Amazing!! The Salukis drop to 5-4 in MVC action. The Jays could make it happen tonight.

WSU: 83
BU: 81

The Shockers are getting back to form, and I've got them splitting their Illinois road trip.

UNI: 78
ISU-Blue: 65

The Trees fluked out and got a Valley road win over ISU-Red (when the Redbirds weren't playing all that well). I've got the Panthers rolling tonight at home.

How do you guys see tonight's games going?

While being a UNI Alum in Omaha, I hear a lot about CU. Its been since 2003 the last time SIU has lost to CU and they are 3-0 in the new Qwest Center (no other MVC school can say that). I would like to see SIU pull it off, but they are expecting 15,000 plus for the game, and CU is tough at home. I would say CU in a close one, 60-55, but an SIU upset would very nice.

As for the UNI/ISU-Blue game, I didnt see or hear the game againt MSU, but to get a win in Springfield is huge. I hope the momentum continues at home. UNI should win this game, as we all hope. UNI 70 ISU-Blue 55.

The WSU/BU game is a tough one to call. On paper WSU should win, but this is the Valley, its hard to predict any game. WSU is due to roll off a bunch of wins and I think Coach Turgeon will get them going tonight. WSU 80 BU 72.
