Interesting results today.

Is Drake actually good?

Is UNI a fraud?

Is Missouri state living up to their pre season expectations?

All I can say is that this year is going to be very interesting. If you don't bring your A game every night, you may get beat. Doesn't matter home or away

I said on twitter earlier in the week that this might be one of those seasons where 12-6 or worse wins the league. Now maybe MSU or someone (ahem, Drake) surprises us, but not having a dominant team or two should make for a lot of fun this year.

Yarbrough has to be early favorite for MVC Player of the Year


Uh, maybe, I guess. I can see him being ONE of the EARLY favorites but, Alize seemed to barely impact the game today and had 10pts 12 reb 4 asst. and was doubled anytime he touched the ball inside the arc.
I've seen Yarbrough play and he's good but I don't think he's getting the attention Alize is.

Gotta root for your own guy right? It's homerism at its best!

As well as VALLEY schools, played in the pre-MVC part of the season.
And....as much as each team, is going to beat up on each other, during VALLEY play....followed up by the same in St Louis...
Whoever represents The Missouri Valley Conference in the tournament will, be a tough out and should be battle tested enough to make a dent come March.

I'm not trying to be the grammar police...but seriously? You have four comma's in your post and none of them are even required.

UNI fans--is Klint Carlson as frustrating to you as he seems to be to me?

He has immense physical gifts but seems to love roaming around the perimeter thinking hes Magic Johnson. He doesnt use his phyisicality at all and he disappears way more than he should.

Am I wrong?

Also---Juwan McCloud hasn't been what you guys had hoped right? I admit--I thought he would be a stud in this league.

He has also predicted that the Aces would lose only one game in the last three years.
