Illinois State is going to win @missouri state. Got to think Dana is done there. MSUs only wins this year are too Evansville. Waaayyyy too much talent on that team for those results

Valpo just erased the UIC 10 point lead and now leads by 1, 77-76 with 1:20 to go.

Okani from UIC also just had a NBA-level dunk where he left about mid lane and just flew.
 
There have been so many blowout this year in the valley. Which I find odd considering on paper the bottom seemed to have risen and a lot of teams lost a lot from last year (Bradley, Belmont, Indiana State, drake). I thought 1-12 was going to be much tighter. But it just seems like 80% of MVC games are 15+ point wins with comfortable or huge leads throughout.

Illinois State wins @ Missouri State: Rumor is Dana Ford is as good as gone. will be interesting just to see their season play out.
Evansville looks like Evansville @ Drake: So much for all that non-con hype.
Bradley throttles Belmont: Not really liking Bradley getting all this momentum all the sudden.
Valpo outlast UIC: UIC, Evansville, Missouri State are the MVPs this season; bring in solid NET #s then shit the bed during conference play.
UNI takes care of SIU: Congrats too Jacobson. SIU reverting back to their mean. If Johnson doesn't shoot at a high % they are doomed

Where I am with everything aside from Bradley, I’m not too worried about it. We need them to win every game that isn’t against ISU the rest of the season, they’re basically helping us out

I agree, I'm glad they won, it helps us out. But a historic comeback and dominate win can build a teams confidence. Ideally they play like crap and squeak by every game
 
Comparing Indiana State, Drake, and Bradley. We are currently set up pretty nicely with how we have performed with our schedule. Bradley and Drake still have A LOT of meat on their conference schedule while we have already taken on some of the toughest games and still have Drake and Bradley coming to TH. But we all know road wins are what separate the champion from everyone else. and here is how we stack up. We benefitted from the uneven schedule last year but Drake and Bradley get the advantage this year without having to travel to Murray and Belmont. Those are 2 tough places to play and win.
