HIGHLIGHTED GAMES

-NORTHERN IOWA AT LOYOLA CHICAGO (Missouri Valley).  If Loyola Chicago can finish strong and collect some wins against the likes of Drake and Missouri State, then they may be in the discussion for a bid come March.

Games of the week

(All times ET. AP rankings as of Monday morning. And because this is 2020-21, all games are tentative).

Loyola Chicago at Bradley 4 p.m. Sunday, ESPN+. Bradley returned from a COVID-19 pause on Saturday with a win over Evansville, so the Braves should be good to go for this postponed series. Loyola Chicago’s loss at Indiana State is looking more like a simple off night as the Ramblers have rolled in their three games since, including Sunday’s 88-46 stomping of Northern Iowa.

The Mid-Major Top 10

9. Drake (13-0, 4-0 Missouri Valley): The Bulldogs are one of three teams in our Top 10 that aren’t playing because of COVID-19 issues. We don’t quite know how to rank them accordingly — there’s not much precedent, unless there was a mid-major poll in 1917 we don’t know about — so we’ve decided just to keep them in place. LW: 9

Waiting room: Furman, Colorado State, Loyola Chicago, Western Kentucky
