HIGHLIGHTED GAMES
...
-INDIANA STATE AT TCU. Indiana State has just two losses, one of which was a close game at Xavier. If they can some how knock off TCU on the road then we’d have to start thinking of them as being one of the better teams in the Missouri Valley. TCU comes in at 7-1 and appears to be improving as the season progresses.
