February 17/18th Games

Feb. 17th

Bradley @ SIU (SIU -16.5) - I have faith SIU can win this one but not cover. Beane is coming off back to back 30+ point games.

Indiana State @ Illinois State (ILST -6) - I'll take the Redbirds and the points. The Sycamores have dropped 3 straight. The Redbirds have won 4 in a row and 2 of those opponents were definitely a step above the trees.

Northern Iowa @ Loyola (UNI -5) - This is a tough one to pick but I will take the Panthers. No team is hotter than Northern Iowa right now...their win streak sits at 6. That said the Ramblers came within 1 point of Evansville and recently stomped SIU in Carbondale. So an upset wouldn't be to crazy.

Evansville @ Drake (EVAN -9.5) - Drake seems to lose every game by double figures unless they are playing Bradley. I'll take the Aces.

Feb. 18th

Missouri State @ Wichita State (I'll guess WSU -17) - Shockers know that every win is critical the rest of the way. Won't be any coasting until they are up 30 points.

Let's not forget that Loyola also went into the McLeod and won earlier this year. Holding UNI to a season low 41 points.

Re: ISB v. ISR. You have to give the points, but everybody knows what you mean.

Yeah my bad on that. Should have made that more clear.

Is every game the Valley game of the week? I think just about every valley game I've watched the announcers say it's the game of the week lol

Redbirds looking locked in to start this game. 15-4 early.

Miami Heat in the building to see Mikyle and Deontae, interesting

Any reason why Illinois State still has starters in the game up 30 with 40 seconds left?

Man, this Illinois State team only gets up for games when they play the Shockers, huh?

Great win for the Birds... now they have to prove themselves on the road if they want the 2 seed.

Loyola up 1 on UNI with 6 seconds left.
