today's games in the MVC (Saturday 11/30)

70-69 Pepperdine leads ISU, :39 left

[Aargh]

Not a good time to be on the short end of a 3-minute 6-2 run when it starts with 4 minutes left in the game.

Sycs down 1 with a minute and change to go.

[Wufan]

ISUb up three with 0:03 to go…

[Wufan]

Sycamores hold on!

[Aargh]

Odum with a layup and a steal in the last 30 seconds. Then a couple of throws seal the deal.

Sycamores win! 73-70, last second 3 bounces off the rim for Pepperdine. ISU now 3-2 vs. D-I teams, 5-2 overall. Pepperdine actually had a pretty good game. They shot 59% from the field, 50% from 3 point range, and outrebounded ISU 26-17. Turnovers and missed FT's are what cost Pepperdine the win.

So a mixed bag for ISU in Alaska, a loss to an 0-4 Tulsa squad to start, followed by a very nice resume-building win over D-II Alaska-Anchorage, followed by a narrow 3 point win over West Coast Conference opponent Pepperdine. Sycamores finish in 5th place in the Great Alaskan Shootout, maybe we'll get a 5th place trophy?

Certainly a little disappointing from a team of seniors picked to finish 2nd. However, after the Tulsa loss to open, ISU took what they were given and won a couple of games. Keep bringing it!

we are just a very poor defensive team Wu, I don't think we're going to be as good as some people seem to think. I am guessing we'll be a mid pack MVC team, 4th-5th place, when it's all said and done. We'll win some big games, but we'll also have some inexplicable losses to teams like SIU, ILS, or Loyola.

next game, Drake up big on Northern Arizona 23-15 in the 1st half! Go Drake!
