Games of Interest for Monday, 11/11/13 through Saturday, 11/16/13

5 with 2:05

[WuDrWu]

Why do the Birds keep jacking up 3s and jumpers?

Because they have little discipline and no grasp of a team philosophy. They have (some) talented individuals right now, and that's about it.

[ShockTalk]

4 now.

[WuDrWu]

Ziesloft's offensive boards have saved the Redbirds ass tonight late.

[WuDrWu]

Middlebrooks fouls out with 32 seconds left, ISU up 4.

[wufan]

Birds up 2 with 23 seconds left.

[WuDrWu]

NW made some 1 of 2 FTs and it looks like ISU just might hold on. They are dead if this goes to OT.

Paris Lee makes 1 of 2 and it's 4 with 26 seconds left, timeout NW.

With this year's rules, thats all you need...

[WuDrWu]

ISU will win. Barely, but it's a road win and they all count.

[Play Angry]

A rare excellent day for the MVC. 2-1 on the road against the BCS, with one of those wins coming against a ranked team and the other being pulled off by arguably the Valley's worst squad.

[ShockTalk]

By my count, after Lee made a 3 with 7:16 and the Birds lead 61-48, this is what they did:

Missed 3 3s, missed 3 jumpers, missed 1 layup, made 4 fouls, 1 TO, and were 3-6 from the FT line until Lee made both with .16 left. Before time was under 30 seconds, NW had only fouled on Redbird offensive rebounds during that period.

[another shocker]

when was the last time an mvc team won on the road (or even at home) over an top 25 team in november (out of conference)? wsu over vcu last year? was vcu ranked last year when wsu spanked them in november?

No, but they were "also receiving votes."

Indiana State beat a ranked Miami team last year, but now that I think about it, it was actually in December, I believe not November.

[ShockerFever]

I'm not shocked that Illinois State nearly blew a 20 point lead against the Big Ten's worst team by far. I guess our worst is better than their worst.
