[it's boogie time]

Big game for the Valley tonight with Pitt/Wichita State in Kansas City. The winner most likely gets a crack at #3 Texas

 

[SaintLouBrave22]

Valley needs to go 3-1 at worst

 

[BradleyBrave]

UNI shooting nearly 80% for the half...and TIED with BC. NOT GOOD!

UNI 38

Come on, UNI! Is BC any good?

As I stated in my Power Poll, UNI just has not looked too crisp so far this year, even in their wins.


Hopefully the 2nd half shapes up better, but I believe this is an indication that there will once again be an incorrect prediction from the media on who wins the conference title.

 

[thefish7]

Uni now up 67-59

the box score says Kwadzo is 17-18 from the floor and 38 pts..
if accurate, then he is definitely next week's POY!

Before I call this a "signature win", I better check with Asian Dude, or he "might punch me in the face.' Well Asian Dude?

Ahelegbe
17-18, 38 Pts

The official stats are slightly less than the initial reports-
http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/bc/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/bcniowabox.pdf
Kwadzo Ahelegbe 14-17 overall from the field, 3-3 from three.

The other 2 guards, Farokhmanesh and Moran, were only 2-4 from the field and did not make a three pointer in the game.

Indiana State will go down to Coastal Carolina. It's 76-60 in favor of Coastal Carolina with a minute to go.

Coastal Carolina had an RPI last year of 303. That's almost worthy of being on Illinois State's schedule.
They could be a little better this year, but this is still a bad loss.

 

[Da Coach]

Final score
Coastal Carolina 77
Indiana State 62

Unofficial stats-
Jake Kelly 7 points, zero assists, and 1 rebound.
Harry Marshall 11 points 1 assist.

The Valley takes another boot to the jewels.

One step forward, eight steps back...that's how it seems so far in the non-con for the Valley.
