6 MVC games Saturday 12/10

"several"?
I was going on the published play-by-play.....did I miss something?
- as here is the play by play and it records only two USU fouls in the final minute -- while Wichita also fouled once in that final minute.
The span I noted was in the heart of the game - from 11:45 when there was a single digit lead to 7:37 when five fouls were whistled on USU and five different WSU guys went to the FT line to make charity tosses...

WSU made only three baskets between 11:30 and 3:49 (at which time it was only a four point margin) and were it not for the 7 FT's the Shox made in that interval, USU would have had the lead at that point, and it becomes a different game.


SIU shot only 28% from the floor... it should be an ugly game when they play us...and SIU can't use the injury excuse since WMU also was missing key players to injury.
In that game, Bloomington's Hayden Hoerdemann did not play due to a ruptured eardrum and Western Michigan's BEST player Flenard Whitfield
did not play due to a severely sprained ankle -- both injuries suffered Friday in practice........
 
It looks like that's just the way yahoo lists them. SI and ESPN both have the Jays listed at #25, along with Vandy.

Top 20 yes. Top 25, NOPE!

Creighton is #25 in the USA Today / ESPN Poll.
Not sure why they aren't #25 in the AP Poll though. They have the same amount of points as Vandy, who is listed as #25.

On the ESPN site they have Creighton tied for 25th in the AP Poll. So maybe Yahoo ran out of room. Who knows.

Anyway glad to see that Creighton hangs onto the top 25 this week despite the loss to St. Joe's. That shows continued respect for Creighton and also shows that St. Joesph might have their best team in several years, so it may not be a bad loss by the end of the year. Long way to go though.

The fouls were USU 25 to WSU 18. USU fouled several times in the last minute to try and extend the game or the discrepancy would have been even closer. Foul shots were USU 21 to WSU 28.

WSU had their leading scorer(Kyles with 18 first half points) in foul trouble not even half through the second half. Our 2 major inside players(Hall and Stutz) were also on the bench for much of the second half with 3 fouls.

Thanks for the info. Many, many times we, the Braves, have won and have been out scored from the field and won it on the free throw line, with no complaint from the BU fans. That's basketball.
 
All things being equal, the home team will usually shoot more free throws than the visiting team.

USU fouled 4 times from 1:26 left in the game til 46 seconds left when WSU extended the lead to 12 and USU stopped fouling.

And I agree with you tornado, the free throws saved us during our scoring drought.

But home cooking would be UConn shooting 44 free throws to 13 for WSU in last years Maui tourney and wsu only losing by 4 :evil:.
