I’m not sold on Illinois State and honestly Murray State doesn’t really look much better from last season.

Fair, but I think both of those schools have one or two All-MVC types whereas I'm not sure Evansville does yet. Usually those close games come down to the stars making big plays and Evansville has just knocked down several tomato cans thus far.
 
Drake knocks off Oakland in the Caymans Island classic

Northern Iowa down nine to South Florida with about 15 min left in the game

Missouri State playing Kent State mater tonight in the Paradise Jam

UIC trucking a school named Aurora by 30 in the second half.
 
UNI about to lose at South Florida

Bowen Born with 2 pts. Only took about six shots. Not sure if he is hurt or played the whole game. Can’t find anything that says he was hurt but certainly not one of his better games.

He didn't play the other night when I took a quick look at their game.
 
Yup I am not sold on UNI being in the top tier of this conference let alone winning the dang thing. Jacobson is just a better version of Greg Lansing; will always put a solid product on the court and if he has the players he can put a championship team out there. But at the end of the day they run a system where they are in every game, sometimes they win them and sometimes they lose them, but they are always competitive.

I wasn't buying them winning the conference a month ago and I'm not buying them winning it now

Biggest thing with UNI is they never seem to have the lows that other teams have during the season.

A team like MSU is often more athletic and has a higher ceiling but then has two or three in a row where they play very poorly.

UNI doesn’t seem to have those types of stretches.
 
I assume Sullinger on Kent State is OSU Jared's little bro that just didn't get cooked long enough?

Didn't realize that is where the Payton kid from Illinois State ended up. I think Lansing offered him or kicked the tires at least.
 
Half the league in action tonight

Illinois State, Missouri State, Drake, Murray State and Bradley all have games today

Could be a Valley sweep today, Bradley vs Tulane will be an interesting game, very even, see how Bradley can handle the green wave

My God, the Drake - SFA game was brutal to watch. Game was as bad as the announcers. If Drake is one of the best teams in the Valley then the Valley is in trouble.
 
Missouri State currently down 26-21 with ten minutes left in the first half.

Not a lot of defense

Abilene Christian on pace for about 110 points
