SIU can't score now that they are without Elliot. Literally nobody can get to the basket or make a shot.

Bradley is the better team. Deen is what makes them tick, try to keep the ball out of his hands as much as possible. Montgomery is a very good option as well. Try to stop those 2 should be the gameplan
 
SIU very slow. We should be able to drive on them. Need to get Teel and LeGree isolated and let them get downhill.
 
Bradley absolutely taking SIU to the woodshed. Looks like a first place team vs a last place team
 
Can’t tell if Bradley is this good, SIU is just that bad, or a combination of both. Bradley does not look like a team with many holes though. They’re damn good.

UE chokes the game away against Murray. Missed Free Throws, a missed dunk, and a not sure what the last play call was supposed to be.

Redturds shoot 18-33 behind the 3 point arc, 9-10 from the charity stripe, and 24 assists and still lose. Those numbers will win you 90% of games alone. but 19 turnovers doomed them
 
Just watching some Drake at Valpo. Drake tries to get to the rim constantly. Setting either on the ball or off the ball screens but every movement is going towards the rim. I can see why it's an efficient offense
 
Valpo is playing a hell of a game but Stirtz just will not let Drake lose this game. I'm glad that kid won't be in the valley that long
 
Rather than create a new thread I figure these power rankings would be good for discussion here


Actually, think this is a pretty fair analysis of the Sycamores thus far. Has us 7th and trending upward.

Agreed, seems reasonable to me. Maybe a case could be made for us being higher than Illinois State, by virtue of our conference win.

As for Bradley over Drake for #1, I think you gotta give the undefeated team its due.
 
Evansville loses at home to Chattanooga. They fall to 3-7 on the year. I really thought Rags would help that program turn it around but it’s year 3 and the record isn’t improving. They are much more competitive than they have been but the wins still aren’t coming like I thought they would. Wonder how many years he has left on his contract.

They talked on the March to the Arch podcast this week about what Valley coaches might be on the hot seat and Ragland was top of the list.

I'm not sure replacing him would make things any better. Honestly if I was them I would keep Ragland and put as much money as possible into baseball and keeping Wes Carroll.

Doubtful they'd a better person (character, etc) to replace Ragland, they're never going to be a premier NIL market school. Agree on investing in baseball with Carroll.
