What's the injury/health status on ISU (red)?

Slack out indefinitely. Anybody else ailing or sick?

 

[shaunguth]

Bradley opened as a 3-point favorite and it's now up to 4 pretty much across the board.

 

[Da Coach]

That must be because of all the heavy betting on the Braves by the wealthy Bradley fans here like Mike Radigan, Big Mike, and lefty!

Dang, there must be two Mike Radigans!

My predictions:

72 - Drake 19-1 (Road: 6-1)
66 - Indiana St. 10-10 (Home: 9-0)

62 - Wichita St. 9-12 (Road: 2-4)
73 - Creighton 14-6 (Home: 10-2)

67 - Illinois St. 15-6 (Road: 4-4)
69 - Missouri St. 11-11 (Home: 10-1)

71 - Bradley 12-10 (Road: 4-4)
67 - Evansville 6-14 (Home: 5-5)

65 - Southern Ill. 11-10 (Road: 1-7)
68 - Northern Iowa 13-8 (Home: 8-4)

And if all that happens, then there will be five teams within a game of 2nd place and seven teams within two games of each other between 2nd and 8th.
