Okay, that was a crazy last couple of MVC rounds, so here goes on what looks to be two more:

Tue-
Bears > ISU....It's back up against the wall time for MSU,and the Redbirds are beyond awful on the road
Bulldogs > SIU....DU gets this one at home, but definitely could go either way

Wed-
Crusaders > ISU...Valpo picks up the W as ISU comes back down to earth a bit
Ramblers > BU....Could be an upset the other way, but think LUC takes care on biz in this roadie
Aces > UNI....battle for near the bottom, and UE takes down the Panthers in an oh-so-close one

Sat-
Loyola > MSU...if LUC puts some defensive pressure on the Bears, then this game could get ugly
Redbirds > UE...ISU picks up a must-win home game over the Aces
Panthers > ISU...UNI pulls one out, but the Sycamores continue to be a very tough out
Salukis > VU...SIU takes this one, but Valpo might surprise here
Braves > DU....think the bubble may have burst for the Bulldogs as BU keeps on winning

There are very few easy MVC picks this season, and it's been exciting to see all the teams completely war in conference (think this helps for post-season as MVC will be extremely battle tested). Looking forward to catching all the action across the hoops crazy Valley this week. Should be some really competitive games on ESPN3...cool

ROCK IT MVC!!

Just a thought here, if MSU loses tonight to ISUr and then again on Saturday to Loyola, they are in serious jeopardy of playing Thursday. How would you like to be the #1 or #2 seed and have to play Alize Johnson and MSU in the first round!!

Is Paul Lusk still the coach? If so, probably not anymore worried than if I was playing anyone else.....

That would mean MSU would have to win on Thursday. The 1 or 2 Seed probably would have possibly beat them already once. Last time I watched Johnson he didn't score a field goal

Alize bounced back last game with 26 points and 12 boards. Not sure what was going on the 2 games prior.

We were the preseason #1 pick in most polls. How crazy and sad would it be if we fell to Thurs status?

Missouri State should be getting blown out. And I guess they are, trailing by 20 with 12 minutes to play.

It's not like two guys getting cryotherapy gone wrong should keep the rest of the team from shooting 30%.

Illinois state is putting the MVC on notice. They are finally coming together and playing like they should. They're going to finish second in the league and make it to the MVC final. Now that Ndiaye is back to 100% him and Fayne up front os tough for anyone to handle.

#FireLusk

We had Fayne and Yarbrough playing with 3 fouls early in the 2nd half and they NEVER went after either of them?
