MVC/OVC Week Five Players of the Week--The Missouri Valley

Missouri Valley Conference

Belmont’s Ben Sheppard had an explosive week. After scoring 16 points against Trevecca Nazarene the 6’6 senior blew up with 33 points against Middle Tennessee. The Bruins’ leading scorer connected eight times from long distance on just nine attempts. This week’s Player of the Week is the Valley’s second leading scorer.

Illinois State won its second and third games in a row last week and fifth year transfer Colton Sandage had a big hand in those wins. The Bloomington, Illinois native racked up 28 points against Eastern Michigan and concluded the week with 16 during a win over Southern Illinois Edwardsville. This week’s Newcomer of the Week made 13 of 14 free throw attempts against Eastern Michigan.

Additional Quick Takes:

  • Drake got blasted by Richmond.  Not a good look for the Missouri Valley.  It will be an interesting race, but hopes of multiple bids is quickly fading.

NEWS AND NOTES:

-I am no longer touting Drake.  They lost yesterday, by 30, to Richmond.  It’s hard to make a case that they belong inside the bubble when they get blown out by a team that doesn’t appear to be anywhere near it.
