News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Jan 28th--Hoops HD
NEWS AND NOTES
-Drake got a big road win at Missouri State to remain unbeaten. The two face each other again tonight. Missouri State probably isn’t a team that will land inside the bubble, but it was just their second home loss of the season so the committee should give Drake some credit for that as a quality win.

Ten Questions to Consider: Challenges In and Across Conferences--Rush The Court
The final weekend of January brings important conference tilts with teams trying to stay at the top of their leagues, others trying to end skids, and those in the Big 12 and SEC playing for conference bragging rights. With under 50 days to go until Selection Sunday, here are 10 questions I have for games this weekend:
7. Can Missouri State throw a wrench into the Ramblers 8-1 start to MVC play? (Loyola Chicago @ Missouri State, Sunday, 3 PM EST, CBS Sports Network) Last week, Missouri State played undefeated Drake on back-to-back nights. In the first game, the Bears blew a 15-point second-half lead and on the next wasted a two-point lead with under six minutes to go. Missouri State has the MVC’s top-two scorers in Isiaih Mosley (22.9 PPG) and Gaige Prim (17.1 PPG) and the league’s top rebounder (Prim, 9.8/G).
