Might as well get this started since it is the only Valley game Tuesday night...

Trap game? With UNI coming to Springfield on Sunday for revenge it very well could be. So far the Bears have fared better on regional/national TV (5-0) than when shown on local TV (0-4) and this game is on local TV.

Hopefully 'Zo has his guys ready as I am sure Drake will give us their best shot

Bears 66
Bulldogs 52

Des Moines will be the next stop on the Cuonzo Martin Taking Respect Tour 2011. There they find an undertalented Drake squad that looks to be waving a white flag already. Unfortunately the Bears do not take prisoners. The Bears should start out strong and probably will have Drake reeling by the under 16 media timeout. I don't see the Bulldogs having the heart to change things once the momentum starts rolling against them and it most assuredly will.

Bears by about 15 as Drake cuts back into it with both teams scrubs playing. Cuonzo will go Mirko Cro Cop on Mark Phelps in the handshake line, but that'll be the only drama.

Hopefully Rice doesn't take over, that said I think the Bears win by about 8-12

I think I might speak for most Bears fans here is there anyway we can keep Mrs. Garrison from posting it makes the Bears fans down right embarassed.

Think the title meant to say 1-25-11.

Rice is a problem. The Bears main weakness is preventing dribble penetration. Rice is really strong at this.

Really wish we still had Keith Pickens this year, but Mallett and Ricks will need to defend without fouling.

I guess MSU has its own Cold now. I'm fine w/ it. Even though I don't like Wichita State, Cold was entertaining.

As far as this game goes, consider me worried. If it weren't for Rice, I think I would be confident but I share the apprehension about this guy - I anticipate a big matchup problem with him. Hopefully we've reviewed enough tape to learn how to stop him.

I worry about Rice too but like Warren at Bradley, is there enough behind him to give us a good scare? Drake has been just down right terrible at times this year and their fans would be the first to admit that I am sure.

You got that right.

The way the Bulldogs have played against good teams, this could be a blowout by halftime. The only way the Bulldogs can compete is if the whole Bears team gets a bad case of the flu.
