I think we'll win this one, but I'll be a bit worried having to play Drake for a 3rd time in St. Louis. Frankly, I'd rather play Bradley.

I wouldn't count out Indiana State losing just yet. They've shown an uncanny ability to blow winnable games over and over again the last month or so. They've been finishing the conference season like we started it. ... Of course, they are playing Bradley, so they should win.

I wouldn't take a win over 9th seed Bradley for granted if Earl Peterson and possibly Tyson Smith are unable to play. Bradley has been a little better lately, and they have pretty good defense. They're still in the Indiana State game, but they can't seem to cut into an early 9 point lead by the Sycs.

Not to mention a win on Thursday against Drake gets you a game against a team you've had a shot at beating this year. A win against Bradley gets you a game Friday, early, against Wichita State. 7th seed is a much better position to be in than 8th.

We were up 9, now up 2. These guys won't go away, ever, even in their losses. Saw them against Evansville a few days ago, and they did the same thing.

Drake is one of those teams where playing them makes you sloppy and careless, and you get into bad habits.

Now Indiana State up 15 on Bradley with 17 minutes to play, and we're only up 2.

The announcers can't seem to tell the difference between Turk and Ingram
