A night after Drake took sole possession of first place in the Missouri Valley, they got some company as Loyola-Chicago beat Evansville 70-58. Missouri State could have joined them as well, but Northern Iowa came to Springfield and blew them out 63-43 thanks to outscoring the Bears 46-24 in the second half.

Missouri Valley

If the Missouri Valley hasn’t been the most confusing conference this season, it’s at least in the conversation. Right now, Drake and Loyola Chicago are currently tied in first at 10-5. The Bulldogs have won four straight to get back in the mix, while the Ramblers have dropped two of their last three to relinquish the cushion that they had built. Missouri State sits a game back of the leaders, but two of its last three games are at home, including a season finale tilt against Drake. Even Northern Iowa, who sits two games back at 8-7, could get in the mix if things break right. With a favorable schedule down the stretch that includes a home matchup with Loyola Chicago, the Panthers are not written off yet.

Further down in the conference, four different teams are tied at 7-8. With just a week and a half until the season ends, we’ll likely see that standings get shuffled repeatedly.
