    Missouri State down 19. Still in zone. Illinois State, to borrow a phrase used by Marshall to describe Creighton, is playing suburban horse.
    To be fair, that's just tough luck for MSU. ISUr can't shoot for ****, and haven't all season.

      I know, but when a team gets hot from three, even a poor shooting team, you've got to get out of the zone. MSU stayed zone waaaaay too long.
      There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

        12 games in, I might just ride out the fluke. They are bad at shooting. Really bad.

        • The Bradley/UNI game was the most boring game in the history of college basketball. SIU/Loyola = much more watchable. SUI guards are quick, as most everyone knows.

            Just be happy they shot out of their ass on the Bears, not Shockers. They have that uncanny shooting once a year, its out of the way! The Redbirds couldn't hit **** the first half, but what a different second half. During the second half, when they hit three treys in a row, maybe it's time for man. Five treys in a row, even the balding math teacher that coaches the freshman B team knows to get out of zone.

            Then again, the Bears had Hinson and didn't like him, so screw em' all!

            • Sorry, but our guys shouldn't lose. Someone will go nuts, but this team should go 18-0 again.

                Not only 18-0 but a lot of JRS time.

                  The more I watch the MVC, the more I think you are absolutely right. Usually it's crazy to predict no losses, but game by game, I don't see a look that we shouldn't be able to beat. We really should win em all... And we will.

                  • Nothing against the other teams. UNI is great at what they do. SIU is playing hard and smart. Giddy and DJ are very good. But it's a lot of boys vs our men.

                    Men almost always beat the boys.

                      You would think that MSU would ditch Paul Lusk. Oh wait, I forgot. They ran out of cows. They had to use all of the herd to fund the their soon to be FBS football powerhouse.

                          There is zero argument to be made for the games against most of the conference. There is some thing to be said for UE and UNI but UE has no depth and UNI is incredibly inconsistent. I'd say the team I'm most afraid of is UNI because they have demonstrated the ability to super bowl someone in a big way. They get up for a game and take down a top 10 heavyweight... Then they immediately return to earth and get owned by a regular team. That's scary because we are the heavyweight and they can apparently pull it together big time in short spurts.

                          • We haven't been consistent enough, for obvious reasons, to give me absolute confidence in 18-0, 17-1 or 16-2. Could we? Yes. Give me 5 or 6 well played games in a row, don't care against who, and I'll feel much better. In the end we may be singing the "good to lose early" song.
                            Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.

                              • From MissouriState247:
                                I'm sorry Art and Coach Keltner, but this game is not the first, second, or eighth time a team has shot the three like that against us. It's not luck anymore. It is a significant flaw in our defensive philosophy. We are 296th in the country in defending the 3 before the game started at 37.4%. We are now at 39.1% allowed, which would move us down to 323rd out of 346 teams per the NCAA. That's not luck over the course of 13 games.
