1:05pm EIU at Indiana State

2:05pm Eastern Michigan at Missouri State

3pm Illinois State at Murray State

4pm #13 Iowa State vs. Drake (in Des Moines)

6:30pm Iowa vs. UNI (in Des Moines)

not sure what to think on these games?

Must win for both ISUr and UNI

The Panthers have a huge game today. A win at home against Iowa would provide a statement win against a power conference school and give UNI a likely top 50 win at the end of the season. A loss puts UNI at 0-2 against the top 50 and drastically decreases their at large chances.

4-1 would be a terrific day, good luck to the teams in action.

I realize ISUb lost a lot from last season but they really should be better than this.

Anyone remember a year where there was a bigger divide between the upper and lower division? We go from top 100 to MEAC-level teams in the blink of an eye.

I don't think 06 had this level of separation. I think the bottom was better that year, but the top separated well in conference play.

MSU trails by 12 at the half. Started the game 1/10 from the floor.

ISUb trails by 6 with 3 minutes left. Sycs aren't good.

Interestingly, College Basketball Reference has this as the weakest SOS in conference history (tracked back to 1979-80). The previous weakest years were 1991-92 and 1993-94.
