This could happen. RPI forecast puts the first part at 15%. Based on WSUs history under Marshall, the second part of the equation (losing in St Lew) about 85%. By my math, that puts the odds at or near a 100% certainty.

I just have a hunch UNI, LOY, UE, and ISUb finish in a 4 way tie for 4th at 9-9.

Maybe they would all need to be 8-10 for the math to work, but I just see a definite top 3 and bottom 2 emerging. I'm just not sure yet if SIU will be closer to 3 wins or 8 wins, but I see them as 8th.

As of halftime of Loyola game, UNI is looking much worse than 9-9 or 8-10 this season

I think they'll win the conference. But I don't see only 1 loss. I think they will lose several on the road.

I can see losses at ISU and MSU ...not sure who else.


After watching the last few days of MVC basketball I agree with you. One to two losses tops for WSU.

Not sure WSU has the experience and steady, consistent play to only lose 1-2 games. Not sure they don't either, but this group hasn't proven that yet.

Wufan, this seems completely reasonable, but do you think that MSU might perform a bit better and Evansville a bit worse?

I can not see Evansville finishing 5-6 from here on out.
