Very challenging round for Valley teams, and it's also a round that some MVC schools can really make their case for being good teams. Here's to seeing all the Valley teams do some serious damage throughout the rest of this week. Alright, here goes on the picks....winners:

Wednesday-
Aces > LA Tech...keep it going UE
SMU > Panthers...although I could definitely see UNI pulling out a quality W
Bears > FL Atlantic....c'mon MSU (need this one)

Thursday-
Panthers > NC St. ...or... Zona > Panthers

Black Friday-
Panthers > WKU...or ....Villinova > UNI, UTen > UNI, or Purdue > UNI
Crusaders > Kent St....should be a dandy game against a solid MAC team
Ramblers > NC Wilmington...if Loyola wants a good season, then this a team the Ramblers need to beat

Saturday-
Murray St. > SIU....the Racers are a good team, and it's a roadie for the Salukis
Ramblers > Kent St....again a good MAC team, and again a team LUC needs to beat to have a solid season
Crusaders > NC Wilmington...must win if Valpo wants to keep building up their momentum
Sycamores > Ball St. ....the Trees make it 2 in row and even up the record at 3-3
GA Southern > Braves....BU need to protect home court (think this one might be a toss-up)
Redbirds > Charleston So....ISU makes it 3 straight wins and fly a bit higher

Sunday-
Bulldogs > Chicago St.....should be another W for the improving DU Bulldogs

Good luck to all the MVC teams, and I'm looking forward to some terrific hoops across the Valley...YES!
