Last Sunday Bidwell said the Racers were favored to win by 12.5 points. I told my sons as the game began that since we can't hold on to a 10 point lead, we would win by two. We saw an 11 point lead dwindle to one at the end of the game.  And that one point margin is what we won by.
So Bidwell says this week we are projected to win by 5.5 points. So I guess we lose by 4.
Hello St. Louis.

I inadvertently left out a segment of data that changes my prediction.

I have updated the data to include what was omitted.

Apologies to all.

Is DJ not coming back next year? Prohm just tweeted "come out and honor Rod and DJ on senior day."

[smidge34]

I think they're just covering all of the bases here. There are no guarantees in this free agency era we're in. 

[Wigg2152]

Put Rod back in. At least he wanted to play.

He should have added at least two other names hopefully playing their last game in Murray today to that tweet.

On offense we get our hands on a rebound but just slap it backwards to whoever and on defense they all assume someone else is gonna get it so they start running away.

So damn frustrating, this team.

We just look terrible?    We are trending to give up 100pts to Valpo.   What happened to the defense?   

[Murraygrad2005]

Why are we playing 5 feet off the guys around the three point line on defense? 

[Handicap]

Why are we playing 5 feet off the guys around the three point line on defense?

That's what i was wondering. i guess bc we're too slow to keep up with them so they get right past us?

if we're gonna sag off like that, why not just play a zone or something different?

[RunRacers]

2 mins of straight hustle.... that sure looked good!

What is wrong with Morgan?   Why is he not using him?

[Murraygrad2005]

What is wrong with Morgan?  Why is he not using him?

Sam Murray?  Stacker?  Edwards? 

Add him to the list of what could be's. 

Instead we get 40+ minutes of Jacobi Wood for whatever reason that I still haven't figured out.
