Wichita State at BU tonight

I expect the return of Taylor Brown, and Bradley needs a win tonight!
Thankfully the insane rants about the tremendously minor stuff of Taylor Brown twittering has finally died down...curiously nobody ever seems too interested that many other Valley players do the same thing, even guys like Osiris Eldridge that posts videos of other students from the classroom...
One Shocker sub, David Kyles is out with a broken hand.


Wow, Northern Iowa lost last night to Evansville!!
Evansville won 55-54, and UNI shot poorly. Just 33% overall and 21.7% from 3-pt.
Ahelegbe had just 2 points, NO rebounds, one assist, 4 fouls and a turnover...
this guy is NOT deserving of the Valley Player of the Year....and so who else is left...? Adam Koch??? As noted elsewhere, Koch is NOT in the Top 10 in any offensive or rebounding category!!
In fact his scoring and rebounding are more like 15th best in the Valley...
If Koch gets the award, it would be a sad and unfortunate event, given a couple players deserve it more...
Right now I think Sam Maniscalco, Dinma Odiakosa, and even Andrew Warren are MORE deserving of such a top individual honor!!
Only two games left for anyone in the Valley to impress those who vote for POY!


I was kinda shocked to see how poorly SIU played in losing to Creighton in Carbondale. Creighton did not play particularly well, but SIU just doesn't play defense and lets guys dribble right in for easy shots!
Could this mean Chris Lowery is NOT the coach he's been given credit for? Were those great defensive teams from 2002-2007 the result of all the players Bruce Weber and Matt Painter had recruited and left behind?
Gotta think so....I would be blown away if even a D-II team came knocking now to hire Lowery away....
all this talk of Lowery going to DePaul is ridiculous!


I was listening to a Chicago sports radio talk show yesterday, and most of the discussion went on and on about how badly NBC has screwed up the Olympic coverage for the hockey fans...
Much of Chicago cannot get MSNBC and so those people, even if die-hard hockey fans, still couldn't watch the Canada-US hockey game...and many of the other key games are either NOT being shown at all or being shown on tape delay...while hours and hours of ice dancing by unpronouncably named Eastern Europeans are being shown incessantly.
