What's Up In The Missouri Valley 1/3/2023

MVC/OVC Weekly Awards – Week 8--Valley Hoops Insider

Missouri Valley Conference

Southern Illinois (11-4, 3-1) has won six straight games and senior guard Lance Jones is certainly a key component to the Salukis’ success. The 6’1 guard scored 37 points covering two games against two of the Valley’s newcomers. During wins over Murray State and Belmont, Jones made five three-pointers and handed out seven assists. This week’s Player of the Week recently joined SIU’s career top-20 list in assists.

Missouri State (7-7, 3-1) has won three straight games and Georgia transfer Dalen Ridgnal is an emerging contributor. The 6’7 forward recorded a double-double (24 points & 11 rebounds) against Northern Iowa and made key plays during the team’s win over Drake. This week’s Newcomer of the Week made seven of 14 long range attempts during the Bears’ two games.

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games – Monday, Jan 2--Hoops HD

NEWS AND NOTES:

-Drake lost another game that they should have won, this time at Missouri State, 52-49.  I’m very close to saying that one of Drake’s win better be that last Missouri Valley Conference Tournament game, because they are out of strikes and can’t get inside the bubble.  They basically need to win out to not need the auto-bid.
