ISU redbirds won tonight 72-51. Osiris Eldridge scored a game-high 21 points This is their 9th straight win and they are now 6-0 in the MVC and 14-3 overall. Drake also won on a last second basket against Bradley to also reach 6-0 in MVC and 15-1 overall (14 wins in a row).
ISU got 7 votes for the AP Poll.. and with a game against #26 Drake on Saturday, it seems possible that the winner of that game could break into the top 25 ! The matchup between Drake and ISU will be the first time in Missouri Valley Conference history that 2 teams with a conference record of 6-0 or better will face each other.
The women continue their quest for the regular season title on saturday.
ok, it is 4 a.m. here and I mostly wanted to get back on here to post some kind of blog about this :)
for anyone who reads my blogs.. stay tuned, I will have a blog in the next day or two consisiting of various other things from my various sports interests and maybe some more personal stuff for those who are interested.
To close this salute blog to my alma mater, I leave ya with the fight song..
"Go You Redbirds onto battle! Fight for ISU.
Raise the banner, red and White; to this emblem we'll be true.
So let us cheer the Redbirds on to victory! Every voice proclaim:
'We've got the fight! We've got the might! Let's win this game."
