What's Up In The Missouri Valley 12/11/2017

...
What a week for Ball State. Taylor Persons hit a game-winning three-pointer in the final seconds for the second time in five days, first against Notre Dame, this time to give the Cardinals a 71-70 win over Valparaiso. A special week for the Cardinals.
...
Towson also is now 10-1 after a 78-65 win over Maryland-Baltimore County. The Tigers aren’t pretty but they are some tough customers and have won 10 straight since a narrow opening loss at Old Dominion. Also at 10-1: Loyola (Ill.), which routed Norfolk State 80-52. The Ramblers are a comparatively much more fluid offensive team than Towson, one of the best shooting teams in the country, and indeed Loyola shot an incredible 71.4% against the Spartans. The Ramblers shot so well that they only needed 35 field goal attempts (25 makes, including 10 of 13 from three-point range).

-VALPARAISO AT PURDUE. Valpo comes into this game unbeaten, but this is their first real test. It’s also the kind of game they’ll need to win if they want to impress the selection committee. Purdue is suddenly looking a lot better. Their neutral floor win against Arizona is gaining value, and they also have wins against Louisville, Maryland, and Northwestern to go along with it.
