2018 MVC - Opening Week

[Old School MVC]

I agree with both of you. Like Bradley Fan 71 said, If Bradley finishes 6th again this year their fans will not feel happy or as if it is a major step forward. On the other hand, I agree with the Redbird posters who think they will finish playing on Thursday again which will make Brave fans start to question Wardle.

Out for SIU game with UNI: Bol (one more week with knee before playing), Bartley (bad back), McGill (broken hand) and (FINALLY ) Jonathan Wiley (flu)--no locusts have descended on Carbondale --YET

I hesitate even posting this but it’s not intended to be a troll: https://sports.yahoo.com/ranking-colleg ... 30364.html

I expected to see the MVC at #8 and then was shocked when I didn’t even see them at #9. Might be worth an e-mail to the writer to figure out what his methodology is because it’s not RPI or KenPom. The article would trigger me if I were a member of an MVC school.

I just think that if they avoid Thursday, it will be a happy day in Peoria. 7 years in a row is a long time!

Seems this guy got a bit lazy to finish this article off and just selected historically better conferences without doing some homework first.

He has been emailed! Thanks for the share.

Re-do on Boll status: SIU coach Barry Hinson says the prognosis is good for 6-8 Thik Bol to play by perhaps Drake home game Sunday afternoon!!! But he and Bartley out for Northern Iowa--plus Wiley traveled to UNI but is doubtful for game because of flu

[Redbirds4Life]

Dawgs +8.5
Gargoyles -2
Trees -1

Valpo having a rough night. More turnovers in the first 7 minutes than shot attempts. Trees lead 11-2.
