Illinois State (0-0) vs. SIU Edwardsville (0-1)
Red Bird Arena; Normal, Ill.
2:05 CT
Illinois State will open the 2010-2011 season in front of as home crowd this season as they play host to SIU Edwardsville. The Redbirds, who seem to constantly have the athletes to make anyone nervous, will need to rely on some leadership this year to take them in the right direction. The question is, who will step to the plate.
SIU Edwardsville will enter the game with one loss already on the sheet, but will look to play the Redbirds tough and try and pull off the upset. Will it happen, who knows. Anything is possible, just ask Bradley.
Indiana State (1-1) vs Eastern Kentucky (0-2)
Gentile Center; Chicago, Ill.
3:00 CT
After suffering a loss to host Loyola-Chicago, Indiana State will look to bounce back strong tonight. Although the Sycamores made a few late runs, they were never able to overcome an early deficit, finally falling 86-74.
Eastern Kentucky, who will still be trying to nail down the first win of the season, have had a bit of a tough time during their stay in Chicago. Most recently falling to Texas-Pan American, EKU should have their hands full as they take the court this afternoon.
