not sure what to think here? 3-3 on the day?? Better than that would be surprising

Im gonna go 5 and 1 with UNI the loss!

I'll take 5-1 ... everybody but UNI.

What can I say, I still believe in Barry. :buddies:

Indiana St and Missouri St are probably the 2 "for sure" wins (hopefully)

I think SIU/Ball St is a toss up. I'm not sure you pick that one based on which one looks "better" as much as which one looks "worse".

I'll say the UNI/UVA game is a semi-toss up too, based almost completely on VCU's win over the Cavs and that Virginia hasn't really beat anyone all that impressive (SMU?). I don't think the Panthers come out on top but I think (and hope) it's close.

I know almost nothing about Pacific but the way the Braves are playing I don't see them getting a W. If it were in Peoria I might rethink that.

Evansville I just don't see beating Butler. This might not be Brad Stevens Butler but these aren't Colt Ryan's Aces either. Butler was just a couple missed FT's away from beating Marcus Smart and #7 Okie State. C'mon folks.

4 or 5 wins would be exceptional. 3 wins seems likely. 2 wins or less would be disappointing.

Sycamores decide to relax and let IUPUI back in the game, 25-15 now, IUPUI to the FT line after the under 12 TO.

SIU leads Ball State by 1 at the half 38-37

by **isumvc1** » December 21st, 2013, 3:04 pm

IUPUI with a huge run, ISU's lead is 30-24 now, after leading 25-7, same old same old ISU

by **isumvc1** » December 21st, 2013, 3:26 pm

at the half, after leading IUPUI by 18 points (25-7), ISU let's off the gas, as usual, and allows IUPUI to get back in it, at the half it's 39-32 ISU leads.

UE, UNI, and SIU all in close games! Need some wins today!
