News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Sunday, Feb 27--Hoops HD
NEWS AND NOTES:
-Northern Iowa and Loyola Chicago went into overtime in a season finale where the winner would clinch first place in the Missouri Valley. Northern Iowa, who we were big on coming into the season but who also struggled OOC, got the 102-96 win. This actually knocks Loyola Chicago down to 4th place in the conference, and while that shouldn’t matter too much to the committee…I can’t help but think that it certainly doesn’t help.

Dayton and Loyola-Chicago may have had the most costly defeats, however. Trying to mount a late at-large rally, the Flyers coughed up a double-digit lead and fell at La Salle, UD’s fourth Quad 4 loss of the season (after a disastrous opening week in November). As for Loyola, the Ramblers dropped an overtime decision at Northern Iowa and, in the process, handed a regular-season Missouri Valley title to the Panthers. Loyola will most certainly be discussed on the at-large board, but another loss (in the MVC tourney) would be the Ramblers’ eighth defeat, with bubbly San Francisco as their best asset. As we sit here this morning, Loyola may need some help, unless they emerge victorious in St. Louis.

On The Side
- Northern Iowa started the season with two wins in its first seven games. It won the Missouri Valley regular season title on Saturday by beating Loyola Chicago at home. Anarchy? Nope. Just college basketball.
