Standings after Game 5

[oneNEIGHBOR]

Too bad we don't play again until the end of February.

I agree. Hopefully that game will have a little more running and gunning from one end.

Can't wait to see JQH in person.

Hopefully that game will have a lot of meaning and be for the 1 seed in the Lou. That would make for a great environment and a wonderful TV game!

im going to that game! it should be very fun. I have never been to a valley away game before so this could a good first. i have always liked MSU fans so it will be interesting to see where they play and what the atmosphere is like.

I'm in the same boat. Never been, but luckily this one is on a Saturday and it's an excuse to use the girlfriends father for a free place to stay. He's hooked us up with tickets in row 4 I believe. So we're pretty stoked.

In St's 4-1 start has to be the surprise of the early season by far. Especially considering they have missed 2 starters for a few games now.

ISU-blue fans: any word on the health of Kelly and Lathan?

I'm hearing Lathan will likley be ready for Bradley on Wed...Kelly still out though...not sure of the time he's slated to return.

Thanks. Sycs are doing great considering. Would love to see this team with a healthy Jake Kelly, would be a difference maker. Would a back court of he and Odom work out? Or do they both play the point?

The War on 74 sure has a different meaning this year.

Better than expected - Indiana State, Missouri St, Creighton, Southern Illinois

About what I expected - Wichita St, Evansville, Drake

Worse than expected - Bradley, Illinois State, UNI

[jlandrus11]

I didn't expect UNI to be off to such a bad start, after their wins over IU and New Mexico.

[DoubleJayAlum]

I'm most surprised with UNI and InSU right now, albeit for the exact opposite reason.

It will be interesting to see how InSU adjusts when its injured players return to the lineup. Does it screw up the chemistry and timing or make them stronger?

Jake Kelly and Dwayne Lathan are expected to play against Bradley on Wednesday night. So they are finally back to action.
