By the way, both Tulsa and UAB won tonight as well.

I know of one very recent former coach that never played zone for more than one possession

Yeah!

Injury update? Anything chronic and will cost the team later down the road when it's crunch time?

The Drake also managed to hold on to win in OT at SIU to stay in the top 100 (Warren Nolan now has them at 87).

Our remaining Valley games against top 100 teams: Drake -2, MoSt (#79)- 2, UNI (#38)- 1, CU (#19) -1.

And then there is Illinois St. at #109 which still has a chance to finish in the top 100. (which if they did manage to get in the top 100, our win that we already have over them would become a top 100 win also).

It is looking more and more like Indy St (which started Valley play in the top 50) will not finish in the top 100, although they still have a chance (#128) which would give us at least one more top 100 win as well and hopefully two.

So bottom line is we still have lots of opportunites to pick up more top 100 wins.

Our entire non-conference slate absolutely killed it tonight. Temple also beat a good LaSalle team, Fullerton leads by 10 in the second half, and UNLV is up 17 in the first half against TCU.

Tonight has been the perfect storm for a big RPI move.

Garrett and Toure were 'heroic' tonight and played like the seniors they are. I know we've all been disappointed in both of them at various times, but it's great to see them step up in clutch situations. Toure's circus shot was priceless!

Now it's time to take care of the home court and knock off SIU and Evansville!

How much does Seth Davis hate Creighton? It's getting a tad ridiculous. Wichita State had a big road win tonight.

[KC Shox]

Combined opponents record for the first 9 games of MVC play, 83 - 85. Current combined opponents record for the last 9 games of MVC play, 101 - 65. It's going to get nasty.

Nice road win for Wichita State at Northern Iowa. No road conference win comes easy.

Hopefully, Paul Suellentrop will have something in his Day After blog tomorrow.

Wichita State with another road win. Shockers play better on road than at home. And, Shockers play well at home. An NCAA Tournament team.- Jay Bilas

Retweeted by Coach Jans. Wheels up and the Shocks will be home soon.

Garrett got plenty of love on the ESPNU highlights.
