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.
State of the state:
I know Loyola Chicago fans will want the Ramblers logo splashed across
the Land of Lincoln -- after all, Loyola positively pasted No. 1-seeded
Illinois in the second round of the NCAAs -- but the truth isIllinois still has the better team this season. Kofi Cockburn's
(silly) three-game suspension to open the season aside, Brad Underwood
would seem to have a group capable of winning the Big Ten and getting
another 1-seed come March. And Loyola Chicago can do the same once more,
re: winning the Missouri Valley. Two fine teams at the top in this
state, then it's a bowl of who-knows-what. Northwestern might finish
top-10 in the Big Ten, I'll say that!
State of the state:
Iowa's edge for state bragging rights isn't much, though; Drake
went 26-5 last season and, with a full schedule lined up, may well win
another 26 games in 2021-22. Meantime, Northern Iowa might have the best
player in the state in A.J. Green, if his return after hip surgery can
go without a snag.
