Today In The Valley (Nov. 25)
Bradley (1-2) vs. Florida Gulf Coast (1-2)
6:00 p.m.
Alico Arena; Fort Myers, Florida
The Braves lost their first game in Fort Myers, to Valley-killers Missouri-Kansas City. After disposing of Wichita State on the road, UMKC beat Bradley 73-61. BU was sloppy in the loss, committing 23 turnovers and recording just 11 assists.
A staple of previous Braves teams, the 3-point shot, seems to be missing this season so far. It was evident against the Kangaroos; BU went just 3-17 from long range.
Bradley's opponent tonight, the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast, have an identical record and also lost their first game in Fort Myers (69-58 to Richmond). They also lost to Kansas by 40 points to start the season. The Eagles are led by transfer Kyle Marks, who has ties to one of Creighton's rivals: he spent the early part of his career as a Nebraska Cornhusker. He twice tore his knee up, the second time after the coaches rushed him back to the court too early (according to Marks).
And I thought they called him "Doc" because of his medical expertise.

Northern Iowa (2-1) vs. Chicago State (2-1)
8:00 p.m.
McLeod Center; Cedar Falls, Iowa
The Panthers got a good test from Texas Southern in their last game. Even though they held a comfortable lead for most of the second half, the Tigers made a small run at the end of the contest. With a trip back to the Chicagoland area on the horizon for UNI, freshman Panther (and Algonquin native) Johnny Moran scored a career-high 21 points (including 6-8 from 3-point range). Adam Koch chipped in a season-high 18 points and Kwadzo Ahelegbe added a career-high 11.
After losing to Illinois-Chicago on the road, UNI returned home and returned to the win column. Tonight, Panther fans will welcome back Lucas O’Rear to the lineup. He has finished serving a 3-game suspension, sent forth by coach Ben Jacobsen, after being charged with 4th degree theft.
This will also mark the return for forward Lucas O'Rear. Where was he? Serving a Ben Jacobsen's time of a 3-game suspension after 4th degree theft charges.
Chicago State returns four starters from last year’s 11-17 team. This will be their last as an independent before joining the Great West Conference next season. The Cougars are lead by senior guard David Holston, who became the school’s all-time Division I scoring leader. They can put the ball in the bucket, scoring at least 84 points (which they did against Marquette) in each of their three games.
