Indiana State (4-12, 2-3 MVC) wraps up a two-game homestand tonight against league-leading Bradley (10-6, 4-1 MVC) at Hulman Center after a thrilling win over Illinois State on Saturday. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. on Nellie & John Wooden Court.
The Sycamores needed 45 minutes to defeat the Redbirds on SERVPRO Fan Appreciation Day and earned their second win of the season over a conference opponent in overtime.
ISU held their opponents to just 27.3 percent shooting from three-point range and out-rebounded the ?Birds by a 38-33 margin in front of a loud and raucous crowd.
Six Indiana State players scored in double, figures marking the first time since 1999 a Sycamore team had achieved that feat. Jordan Printy (15), Carl Richard (14), Harry Marshall (12), Aaron Carter and Rashad Reed (11 each) and Jay Tunnell (10) all chipped in double figures to help the Sycamores give Illinois State just its second loss of the season.
Bradley is coming off a 73-64 loss at home at Carver Arena on Saturday night to Creighton. The loss snapped Bradley?s season-best five-game winning streak and dropped the Braves out of sole possession of first place in The Valley standings and into a tie with Northern Iowa and Drake.
Junior guard Dodie Dunson provided scoring off the bench with a game-high 16 points. Senior forward Theron Wilson and sophomore guard Sam Maniscalco both scored 15 points and freshman guard Eddren McCain added 12 points and a game-high six assists.
Tuesday?s game will be the 70th meeting in the all-time series between the two schools, with the Braves owning a 45-24 advantage. Indiana State has won three of the last four home meetings against Bradley, including a 76-66 victory over the Braves last season at Hulman Center on Feb. 12.
About The Coaches
Kevin McKenna (Creighton ?93) is in his second season as the head coach at Indiana State (19-28). In his first season with the Sycamores, McKenna led the team to its highest win total since the 2000-01 season and an impressive 12-2 record at home in the Hulman Center. McKenna came to Indiana State after spending nine seasons as an assistant coach at Creighton under head coach Dana Altman, where he helped the Bluejays advance to four NCAA tournament appearances. From 2001-05, McKenna spent four years as the head coach (89-33) at NCAA Division II Nebraska-Omaha, where he guided the Mavericks to four consecutive 20-win seasons and three appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
Bradley?s Jim Les (Bradley ?86) is in his seventh year as the head coach at his alma mater (115-96). Les has led the Braves to three straight postseason appearances, including a trip to the 2006 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. In addition, he has led the team to three straight 21-win seasons, including a 21-17 record last season that culminated in the team advancing to the inaugural championship series of the College Basketball Invitational.

On the moneyline with Memphis -200 for 2 Units to win 1. Line jumped and I'm going to play it out.
KANSAS ST @ (530) KANSAS | 01/13/2009 8:00 PM
Play AGAINST KANSAS ST against the spread in Road games on Tuesday nights
The record is 1 Wins and 13 Losses since 1997 (-13.30 units)
Kansas St. hasn't played on the road in a month. And their first game is in the lions den. The line is now -8.5 and is a no play for me but wanted to share this information.
Kansas -8.5 NO PLAY.
One game today. Bradley -2. Indiana St. work horse is doubtful. The loss of value in the line movements makes this a one play day for me. May coattail with another capper.
PLAY BRADLEY -2 four 4 units....
Best of luck. :toast:

Thoughts on Bradley
Thoughts on Bradley
With Marshall the big man avg the most points out for Indiana St, Cutter the guy who subbed in for Marshall previously out as well AND with Reed their point guard with a broken finger I believe Bradley is still the play.
They upset Illinois St saturday but lost their big man. Bradley is coming off their first divisional loss and I expect them to be ready to play.
I've looked this game over at least 10 times and am sticking with the play even though EVERYONE is on Bradley.
I'm looking at a safety net with Kansas second half. Kansas will have Kansas St. winded, and I see Kansas pulling away second half. Hopefully, I won't need this play and Bradley shows up and does whats expected...

Indiana State probably won't finish in the upper half of the Missouri Valley Conference. But the Sycamores are going to throw a scare into a lot of league teams.
They handed Northern Iowa its only Valley loss in the league opener on Dec. 28 and pulled out a 75-70 overtime victory against Illinois State on Jan. 10. That left the Sycamores with a 4-12 overall record and 2-3 in the Valley.
The win over Illinois State might have been costly. In the overtime period, junior guard Harry Marshall (14 ppg) went down with a strained hamstring and had to be helped off the court. Marshall has been the Sycamores' leader after missing the first eight games when he was academically ineligible.
Losing Marshall for any period of time would be a big blow to the Sycamores, who have settled into their roles since he came back. Marshall is playing more than 36 minutes a game.
Indiana State had six players score in double figures against Illinois State. The bench played a key role as Jordan Printy scored a team-high 15 points, while freshman Carl Richard added 14 points and 12 rebounds for his second double-double of the season.
After losing a 10-point halftime lead to Evansville and getting blown out at Drake, Indiana State desperately needed to beat Illinois State. A local business bought all the unsold tickets for the game and gave them away for free, but the 10,000-seat Hulman Center was only half full. That's not a good sign for the rest of the season.

This is the number one bet in NCAAB at Sportsbook...
If it doesn't hit four by game time, I will probably lower it from 4 units to 2...
This line should be at 4.5 by now with all the key injuries...
No playing the sucker role tonight...

Fiance had me running chores because she had a function... Bradley winning but hasn't scored in 4 minutes... Not feeling to confident but glad they are up 6 at half... Sportsbook doesn't have 2 HALF lines on Bradley so no choice but to ride it out.
Riding a couple with my MJ buddies:
Ohio State -9 (Bucksnotyucks) 1/4 unit
N. Iowa +4 1/4 UNIT (Ray and couple others)
Kentucky +6 1/4 Unit (Airportis)
Kansas -6 1/4 UNIT
Best of luck.

Butler covers and should have won by 30 but their FT% was 11 or something crazy...
Think I've built my confidence for all future plays. Two times this week it reeked badly but I stuck with it with TENN MARTIN and BRADLEY...
Less chatting and more plays going forward... just talking myself through my first real season in hoops in a couple of years...
Pulled the trigger on Kansas -6... All plays are looking solid!
