The Missouri Valley Conference had its opening night with a full slate. Drake and Evansville battled in the game of the night, going two overtimes before the Aces outlasted the Bulldogs 82-77 for just Drake’s third loss of the season. And don’t look now, but after a slow start, Loyola-Chicago is turning a corner, as they outscored Indiana State for the game in the first half in a 79-44 romp. The Ramblers led 44-12 at intermission and have now held four straight opponents below 50 points.

We only have one newcomer to the poll this week, and it’s the fightin’ Ray Giacol- uh, Jeff Rut- uh, Niko Medv- uh, Darian DeVries!. Drake, on its fourth coach in four seasons, sneaks in at No. 25 with five straight wins, including two against The Other Top 25 ranked teams. The Valley isn’t good this year and there’s an opportunity for the Bulldogs to emerge while the preseason favorites struggle.
