Think this is going to be a no-nonsense kind of week in the Valley. Here goes on the MVC picks:

Tue-
Sycamores > MSU....ISU continues to surprise, and the Bears....well

Wed-
Ramblers > DU....LUC keeps rolling, while the Bulldogs continue their downward spiral
Panthers > BU....UNI is not playing well (understatement), but the Braves are putrid in roadie action
Aces > VU...UE has been very competitive so far, but the Crusaders throw a scare into the Ford crowd

Thur-
Redbirds > SIU...battle of Illinois as ISU evens it up against the Salukis

Sat-
Sycamores > LUC....calling it as ISU pulls off an upset as the Sycamores complete a terrific week
Bears > UE....MSU finally gets back on track, but the Aces give the Bears all they can handle
Bulldogs > UNI....DU gets a much needed home W, while the Panthers continue to struggle on the road

Sun-
Salukis > BU...Battle of Illinois #2 with SIU disposing of the sinking (and road awful) Braves
Redbirds > VU....Crossroads game for ISU as a road W at the Crusaders place could pay dividends

I'm lovin' all the MVC action this season and really looking forward to catching all of this week's wild and wooly games across the hoops crazy Valley. Thank you ESPN3!

KEEP IT ROCKIN' MVC!

So, you have stated twice how putrid and awful Bradley is on the road, and at the same time pick Indiana State (who lost at home against those Braves) to beat the best team in the conference?

Not getting defensive at all. MAYBE if I was a Loyola fan, that comment would make sense.

Just thought it was a curious pick after describing Bradley with those terms.

[Old School MVC]

Next year is big for Jake because there are a lot of people that have given a lot of money to get him to $1MM and the biggest budget in the league that being where we're at is completely unnacceptable and it is. He's endangering the entire athletic department with a salary that big if he doesn't win at a high level. Obviously, we aren't firing him and chances are good this is just a reset year with his track record but there are some folks that are awfully jumpy right now.

I had heard that from one of my friends who has connections to UNI program. I just thought it was a UNI fan complaining, but maybe there is legs to this. His 2 main complaints are Recruiting and Offense. His point is that you can not draw a crowd when you have trouble scoring and winning, but when you are scoring 48 pts and losing it creates a very upset fan base who have no urge to go to the game. He is worried this is setting back UNI Basketball quite a ways.
