What's Up In The Missouri Valley 2/26/2023

Hoops HD Daily Rundown – Sunday, Feb 26th--Hoops HD

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-DRAKE AT BRADLEY (Missouri Valley).  This is also John Stalica’s UTR Game of the Day.  CLICK HERE to read his take on it.  This is for first place in the Missouri Valley and a chance to lock up at least an NIT bid, but more importantly than that it’s a game between two teams who are both capable of winning a game in the Round of 64 if they are able to get there.  It’s also a resume builder, which can help improve their seed and get a more winnable game in the Round of 64.  These two may be facing each other again a week from today, and that will obviously be a much bigger game, but today is still really big.
