Decent day on Saturday with the conference taking 3 of 4.

UNI past Northern Colorado 77-72
Bradley came back from a half time deficit to put the UIC Flames out 65-56
SIU fell to San Fran 60-76

Two games Sunday,

North Dakota at Valpo
UCF at Illinois State

Loyola cruised at home past St. Joe 85-68. Nice bounce back by the Ramblers. St Joe had already beaten Bradley and knocked off UConn last Wednesday in Storrs.

Xavier slipped past Missouri State 59-56. The Bears got hosed on a couple of questionable technicals in regards to the new flop rule. One late when a Lamont West was shooting a 3. He was clearly fouled, but was called for the flop. Instead of MSU shooting 3 free throws, Xavier gets the technical fre...

The issue for me isn't what Simmons thought of the game. I am sure it ticked him off. The realization that his replacement did more for this program in 40 minutes in Lexington than he did in 12 years is something few would be ok with.

I thought they were decent as well. They certainly have some guys who can shoot the 3. Some of Marty's teams would have lost this game tonight. For those of you worrying about the crowd for Monday....Don't. We had 5200 on a weeknight against a D-3 team. Not only was the crowd size decent, but we had...

When Coach Walters first took over he visited all the dorms and when he stopped at Hughes Hall we invited him up to 3rd North and did what we did to all guys on their birthday (I highly doubt it was his birthday but we didn't care as it was simply our way of showing him that he was one of us) we th...
