Primarily a collection of news links about all 12 Missouri Valley League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
Bradley (MVC, 1-3, 195 KP) vs. Brown (Ivy, 3-2, 232 KP), 3:15 p.m. Duquesne (A 10, 1-3, 199 KP) vs. Colorado (Pac-12, 3-1, 50 KP), approx. 5:45 p.m.
Last night’s final game eliminated two possibilities:
Colorado and Colorado State are likely not to play this year, as the
Buffaloes fell to Southern Illinois, 67-63. (Never dig yourself too deep
of a hole for the second half, Buffs.) That result pushed the Salukis
into the semifinals, which means they won’t meet Valley rival Bradley
until conference play begins.
Friday’s four winners meet in the championship semifinals on Sunday evening.
Other Games Of Note
Richmond (2-1, 70 KP) at Drake (2-0, 54 KP), 1 p.m. (MC-22/ESPN+ ($)) The winner of this contest in Des Moines will have a leg up in the at-large chase.
UCF (3-0, 59 KP) at Evansville (2-2, 193 KP), 2 p.m. (ESPN+ ($)) The Knights have a road win over Miami (Fla.) already this season.
UIC (2-1, 254 KP) at Loyola Chicago (3-0, 31 KP), 4 p.m. (ESPN+ ($)) My neighbors, the Flames, travel to my old neighborhood for a potential meeting of Missouri Valley ships passing in the night.
-BRADLEY VS COLORADO STATE (Paradise Jam). Colorado State is
unbeaten and we think they can finish really high in the rankings. They
need to do well in this tournament so they can pick up some (hopefully)
notable wins away from home.
-SOUTHERN ILLINOIS VS COLORADO (Paradise Jam). Colorado is unbeaten
on the year and trying to pick up some key wins for their resume.
Southern Illinois is off to a bit of a slow start, but this is a chance
for them to completely turn that around if they can rack up some wins in
this event.
