Bears end up losing to SIU. We are in the play in game yet again.

So Abrahamson is not the POY??

Possibly not. But...Dom Olejniczak may be before he is finished at Drake.

Yes everyone is envious of Drake right now.

I would've posted this in the ISU-WSU thread, but it's locked.

One thing I really appreciated and enjoyed was the fact that FVV's sister (finishing up her freshman year with the ILSU VB team) showed up yesterday behind the ILSU bench.....in a Wichita State sweatshirt.

For ILSU fans who are looking for conspiracies, refs, home cooking etc. to blame yesterday's L on.......I do believe that this show of support.......was a factor.

WSU was better yesterday and would have won even without the refs help. However, I will say that when we are 8 deep and have no bench but a walk on for #9 (the others are injured), then we have 3 guys get 2+ fouls in the first half it does impact your aggressiveness in a game.

Good win WSU.

Hope to see you again in the finals on Sunday next weekend.

Drake beat Loyola 69-59 in overtime...a good end to a totally wasted season for Drake.

Giacoletti suspends Abrahamson, and the Bulldogs win....who woulda thunk it? Well, every Drake fan. Just sorry it took this long.

1-16 with Abrahamson
1-0 without him

Watching him on the bench pouting as Drake put the game away tells me everything I need to know about him.

Freshman Dominic Olejniczak led Drake with 19 points, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks. Ore Arogundade had 15 rebounds. Reed Timmer had 4 points with 15 seconds left in regulation, and finished with 17.

I am glad the B-Dogs won.

Even though some hack on Timmer, I really like him. I am referring to those, who think he can only go left.

Lewis Kevin Lloyd: Any chance he might return?

Illinois State plays a physical brand of basketball. When we get away with it, we're great. When we don't, we have a short bench and play more conservatively. The refs figured it would be a chippy game (it was), and they called it accordingly. Tightly called games benefit Wichita State. They have depth, because they run circles around the Valley on the recruiting trail.

Congrats to WSU on another title.

I would have questioned her moral compass if she DIDNT wear a Shocker shirt yesterday. She had a lot to celebrate for her brother.

Blood is thicker than water... Always!

3rd time in four years! Easily could have been 4 straight.

If you are talking about the Technical, nothing to complain about. It was the correct call as written. Elbow to the head-you can NOT do that.

Upon review a foul had been called against UNI fouling Mock. Ball is dead. If it was intentional it would be one think Frag #2 and Ejection. apparently the officials didn't see it as intentional. Incidental contact with on a dead ball is a no call.
