Drake is as secretive as you can be with injuries and we're not likely to know anything about their statuses until warm-ups on Friday but there's concern.

While Overton, Wright, and Ferguson are coming along, Devries, Enright, and Brodie are the keys to our team no question. If we are going to lose Devries, Enright, or both for any stretch of time we will be out of the titles/postseason conversations.


Don't give up hope. Darian DeVries is great at developing talent. Bulldogs have a deep roster. Is Roberts out for the season?

There has been no official announcement, but I will be very surprised if he plays this season.

UNI rides a great first half to a 76-63 win over NIU.

Tytan Anderson with 17. Born 15. Heise 13. Hutson 11.

Looked a lot like what good UNI teams look like.

Of course Hickman helps Bradley in the long run (and short). They're 1-3 without him, 6-2 with him.

A guy doesn't have to be the player of the year to have an impact.

Better to have injuries early in the season than late season.All you have to do is win the conference championship to get your automatic NCAA bid.

Drake falls to a UAB team that's struggled this year in OT

Not a great game but Drake was playing without starting PG, Conor Enright. Tough against a team that pressures the ball so much.

Pathetic offensive effort in the second half by Drake. Good learning experience.

Bradley has lost two games that should have been wins - @ Murray State and home vs Cleveland State.

The other three losses were to an Indiana State team that was awesome on that day. On the road at the top team in the MAC in Akron and a last second “neutral site” loss to Duquesne who is currently #66 in the NET.
