Saturday
Northern Iowa @ Wichita State
Evansville @ Bradley
Missouri State @ Drake

Sunday
Loyola @ Illinois State
Southern Illinois @ Indiana State




My Prediction.....
Wichita State - I am one of the few on here that believes UNI is actually for real, and I think they play a competitive game against the Shockers and prove me right, Shox by 5.

Bradley - Braves are going to build of the tough loss in Cedar Falls with a home win against Marty and the boys. Braves by 7.

Drake - Coin Flip game at Drake, both teams haven't been great lately, but I guess since Drake is at home....Drake by 3.

Illinois State - MiKyle is back, hopefully he plays as well as I think he will...Birds matchup extremely well against Loyola and they should be fired up, coming off the lucky win in Springfield, MO. Birds by 16.

Southern Illinois - I want to pick Indiana State, but I just can't. I think that Barry gets the boys over the hump on Sunday and they get it done on the road, plus I can't pick all home teams in the MVC...Dawgs by 6.

Shox by 18
Toasters by 7
Pups by 5
Birds by 6
Uglies by 4

I like your predictions except Drake seems to be returning to their slump.

Wichita State is tough. "Go Panthers," of course. But the last few games I watched at WSU, they will be really tough. Unless they have a game where they can't hit it from 3*, they have to be double digit favorites.

* Last year they went 2-24 from 3 at home against UNI, 1-21 in regulation.

From UNI's message board, don't know why but I find it really funny....

We're gonna come out swinging, Spencer's gonna get his groove back, Juwan's gonna rip and cut like Washpun on steroids, and Morgan's gonna get a 5x5. We're gonna be locked in on defense, and play one of our best games of the year.

Shockers by 20.

Shockers beat Illinois State by 40+ at home.

UNI snapped the Shockers home court winning streak last year.

Shockers by at least 20. Probably 30+

Were you one of the ones that bet your house on ISU when they came to Wichita?

Many professed they did.

I'm guessing they couldn't find any takers for housing in BloNo.

No, that would have been dumb, no McIntosh, no chance. Plus betting on or against your team is bad faith.

I honestly am going to take UNI plus the points, Wichita State has won huge for the last couple weeks, at some point, that won't continue or at least to the large margin it has been, hence, the play has to be Northern Iowa.
