Not the best start to the non-conference season. If the Valley hopes to get multiple bids this season, which I think is a realistic goal, then barely being over .500 as a league is probably not going to cut it.

Still early though.

UNI is trailing SFA 39-35 at half time right now. early tip-off for the 24hour tip-off marathon on espn2. this is a big game for both the MVC and UNI as UNI seems to be the only other MVC team with a realistic shot at earning an at-large, unless some team really surprises people coughsycamorescough.

Saw the last few minutes of the first half and SFA had a good run to close the half in the final minute. One thing that surprised me was SFA's crowd. it looked like a sellout in a nice arena that i would guess seats somewhere in the 8,000 range. I don't know if they marketed the hell out of this game or what but tip-off was at 7 a.m. for them on a tuesday.

SFA still running their weird offense where they leave nobody in the post?
 
UNI beats SFA. I didn't realize it until the announcers mentioned it but SFA had nation's second longest home winning streak to DUKE...until today.
 
Shockers win pretty easily, we lose bad and Drake is on Fox Sports 1 right now against Depaul looking awful.

looks like a shaky yr so far for MVC, except for the Shockers. It killed me last night watching Creighton come from behind victory over the Sooners,
 
Illinois State is on in about ten minutes on CBS College Sports network in the Paradise Jam. Isn't that the one we play in next year?

Have to say, so far Evansville, Northern Iowa and wichita state have looked good. The rest of the Valley has either looked up and down (Illinois State, Missouri State, Us,) or just plain down (Drake, Loyola, Bradley and Southern Illinois).
 
ILS gonna win this easy, unless they totally collapse

At this point I'd say we look like a 6-7th place MVC team, hoping we look better come March.

Yeah, you're probably right. Wouldn't be surprised to see us even lower. St. Louis lost tonight to Texas A&M.... Corpus Christi.
