Today in the Valley

Today in the Valley: December 20, 2010

UNC Wilmington (5-4) vs. Illinois State (7-3)

Trask Coliseum; Wilmington, NC.

6:00 CT

Illinois State will be looking for their first road win of the season tonight as they head south to Wimington, NC. The Redbirds will take a 7-3 record with them, after a victory over Radford.

UNC Wilmington, who has yet to lose at home, will come into the game off a victory over UIC 53-43. One streak will have to give tonight, and for the sake of the Valley, I hope it favors the Redbirds.

Bradley (4-5) vs. Jackson State (4-7)

Carver Arena; Peria, Ill.

7:00 CT

The Bradley Braves are currently on a 5 game losing streak, and will be looking to get on the winning track as they face Jackson State tonight. Tonight’s game will also mark the 27th anniversary of Jim Les’s first game as the head coach of the Braves. With 11 games since their last game, the Braves should be more than ready for this match up.

Jackson State, coming off a win over Tallahase 81-55, will need a lot to go their way to take care of business in Peoria tonight. Although the Braves have been struggling as of late, they should have more talent on the floor.
