Tuesday January 4 games

There is no such thing as an easy 20-point win.

WSU's home schedule was a tour of cupcake land (Nicholls State is the exception) Only Chicago State and Alabama A & M were 20+ point wins. Those were very bad teams that would lose to a lot of D2 teams.

Right, but playing a MVC game is a lot different than playing a non conference home game against a team that you know cannot beat you.

Drake has already proven that they can lose big, especially on the road, and especially at wichita.

Shockers by 25.

I can't wait to hear from it tomorrow when WSU wins by single digits.


I like UNI covering the spread.



MSU is getting a lot of "respect" in Vegas. Too bad they aren't getting any from the bracketologists.

Current lines for Tuesday's games. Your line may vary a 1/2 point here or there. **Home team in CAPS

INDIANA STATE (-5.5) vs. Illinois State
BRADLEY (-2.5) vs. Southern Illinois
NORTHERN IOWA (-11.5) vs. Evansville
WICHITA STATE (-19) vs. Drake
Missouri State (-2) @ CREIGHTON

I'll fake take points for the Redbirds...it will be closer and Redbirds may win (Lathan is a question mark due to concussion).
I'll also fake take the Bulldogs...that's a lot of points...I see the scrubs getting in for WSU which brings the game back to 18 points at the end.

I am probably way off base, but I think the WSU v DU game will either be a grinder, say 66-57ish, where Drake hangs around but is never too threatening, or it will be a pinball machine beatdown, something like 97-65. IF we get Drake down, they have shown a propensity to be pretty soft.

Of course there's the 5% chance Drake plays to their potential and WSU sleepwalks and another rim is destroyed and I go home in tears.

Back to back impressive wins for SIU. They should definitely give Lowery an extension.
