let the games begin, will we see any big upsets? Honestly the only upsets would be if WSU loses or Drake wins a game. Everything else wouldn't necessarily be an upset IMO

Missouri State @ Northern Iowa

Thursday

Southern Illinois @ Bradley

Evansville @ Illinois State

Loyola @ Drake

Saturday

Indiana State @ Missouri State

Sunday

Bradley @ Wichita State

Illinois State @ Loyola

Northern Iowa @ Evansville

Drake @ Southern Illinois

Evansville is the only team on any kind of win streak. They've won 7 in a row, no other team is coming off 2 straight wins

A nice read before our first conference games from some team beat writers...

Your perspective on quality wins vs quantity of wins is really off. Anybody can beat "cupcakes" 7x in a row, when you are facing The School of the Blind in many of those games...

Here is who you have beaten in that 7 game winning streak ---

Mount St. Joseph's (D3)
Austin Peay (RPI 243)
Norfolk St. (RPI 273)
Murray St (RPI 278)
Bowling Green (RPI 315)
Boise St. (RPI 113 - your best win)
Wabash (D3)

Your first Valley game....vs RPI 67 on the road at ISUr

You guys are better than I thought this year, but acting like this 7 game winning streak means something is crazy.

Well, it's the same guy that was drawing comparisons between WSU and Evansville based on the last 51 games played.

I haven't pinpointed yet whether he's a Simmons relative or a subtle troll.

Lol, it's just a factoid. Said nothing about quality of wins, although I see the Aces 32 pt win against Murray St. on that list, a team the Redbirds lost to.

Seriously though, the Aces win streak is likely to come to an end tomorrow night, but it'll be interesting to see the match-up of Jaylon Brown vs. Paris Lee in an early POY showdown

Not a POY showdown, not even if Evansville finishes third. Both players are very good PGs, however.

Any WSU fans coming to Terre Haute for the game tonight? If so safe travels, many of the posters on the ISU message board will be there.
