Primarily a collection of news links about all 12 Missouri Valley League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
Greg Lansing was recently let go by Indiana State at
the end of his contract despite a fourth place finish in the Missouri
Valley conference. That result becomes even more impressive when you
consider that Lansing’s 250,000 dollar annual salary is lower than eight
of 12 Horizon League coaches and is nowhere near the seven-figure high
end of MVC salaries. Lansing has proven himself as a quality head coach
in the same state as IUPUI, and he’s done it in a tougher conference
than the Horizon League. Throw in the potential portal additions that
would come with him and Lansing seems like a home run if he wants to
stay in college basketball.
A name frequently linked — or…Linc’d (I’m sorry) — to the job is ex-Green Bay Head Coach Linc Darner.
But if I’m being honest, Lansing has similar strengths and no reason to
choose to sit around collecting buyout money. This one is mostly fan
service. It would be a blast to watch if Burk, Minnett and Goss were coming back!
Cameron Krutwig, Senior, Loyola (Chicago)
(15 PPG, 7 RPG, 3 APG, 57.4% FG) A four-year starter at Loyola
(Chicago), Krutwig earned Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year
award this season. A versatile player who scored in double-figures in
all but three games, had 26 games with two or more assists, and 12 games
with at least eight rebounds. In the Ramblers upset Second Round win
over Illinois, Krutwig gave the Illini defense problems for 40 minutes,
finishing the game with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and five asissts.
