And both of the lower seeds are favored in Vegas.

I would guess SIU pulls it out against MSU.

I would guess Drake pulls it out against Bradley.

I liked Barry's freshman last year. This year they've been a disappointment. I like Caroline and Lavender. They're a couple of players that could give the Salukis a nice one-two punch in the future. Olanyo, O'Brien, and Smithpeters could make a nice supporting cast. They really need a good PG.

this is ....well boring.

btw, Kirk looks like he's 32 and from the 70's

Is Lavender a PG? He seems to be handling the ball quite a bit, but I had him pegged as a SG.

Hope the Shox don't lose too much sleep tonight worrying about the Salukis in their Friday noon opener. :Bam:

That's pretty funny. Not a good look for Kirk.

Fitting end for the Bears losing to their former coach in the last game of one of our worst seasons ever.

basketball doesn't get much worse than the first half of Drake-Bradley.
