HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AT INDIANA STATE (Missouri Valley). Conference play is underway! The MVC has collectively won a lot of games and has collectively played well so far, and it wouldn’t shock me at all to see them get multiple teams into the field. Southern Illinois’s only loss was a close one to James Madison, and to get this win on the road would add a nice early season sparkle to their resume. Indiana State also has just one loss, but like Southern Illinois, doesn’t really have any notable wins yet.

  • There are coaches that use “pace and space” as buzzwords, and then there’s Josh Schertz. Indiana State is one of the elite uptempo, rim and 3 offenses in the country... and now they have to enter the grind of Valley play hosting Southern Illinois, but the analytical bones of this offense is unquestionably rock solid...

MVC Week Three Stars

Missouri State’s Matthew Lee took over the Paradise Jam. The Saint Peters transfer was named the MVP of the Paradise Jam and then scored 28 points during the Bears win over South Carolina State. Lee leads the Valley in assists (5.7 per game) and is this league’s ‘Player of the Week‘. The point guard is averaging 12.5 points per game and is making over 82% from the charity stripe. Lee missed all but two Missouri State games last season.

Evansville’s Ben Humrichous’ outstanding season continues. The NAIA transfer averaged 27.5 points per game this week and leads the Purple Aces in scoring (19.0 ppg), field goal percentage (.620) and in three-point shooting. This week’s ‘Newcomer of the Week‘ is converting .485 from deep and making 2.67 triples per game.

Cooper Schwieger’s play makes people forget he is a freshman. His game is so under control and efficient that Valparaiso has been able to depend on the 6’8 wing. Schwieger averaged 15 points and five rebounds during Valpo’s MTE action. The ‘Freshman of the Week‘ is part of an exciting youth movement that finds a significant number of under classmen in Roger Powell’s rotation.
