64-61 . . . Let the annual Steve Alford mid-season choke begin!

37 minutes 9 pts, 4 rebs, 5 assts, 1 steal and 3 TOs for the former Falcon

And Indiana State upsets the Hoosiers too! Insert "Fire Mike Davis" rumor here . . .

And Crawford scored seven of his nine points in OT! These are two huge wins for the MVC tonight. What's more, both of these wins were at home for these teams, it's great they were able to play them at home. Those Iowa schools rotate around, and surprising to me, Indiana has been going on the road much more in recent years. They also play at Ball State later this season. How about ISU holding IU's Killingsworth to 10 points after he blew up against Duke and torched Sheldon Williams just the other night.

How old is Crawford? He must be 35 for as long as he has been playing. He's still a homesick pud to me.

He would've graduated last season had he stayed here. Since he had to sit out a year with the transfer he's a 5th year Senior now.

The sad thing about Crawford leaving BG for Falcon fans is, his decision to leave has paved the way for him to play in a couple NCAA Tournament, beating ranked teams, etc. I doubt he's thought much about BG since we sent him on that trip to Australia before he transferred. :(

If my memory is correct, he did not go on the Australia trip and returned all money raised to assist in paying for the trip.

Why does everyone always think he is so old?

I thought he did go to Australia, then returned to BG and said he was transferring, but had to pay back the money BG spent on sending him on that trip. I remember hearing DD rave about how much he improved and about going there and how he was going to be one of the top guys in the MAC the upcoming season because of how much he had improved in the offseason. I might be wrong, but I thought he went and that's how the big stink grew about the trip in the first place, but maybe not? Either way, it didn't end well for BG, as usual.

He went on the trip. Had to pay back most if not all the $ before getting his release. I think he went home because his little brother suffers from some sort of ailment and was missing having EC around.
