What's Up In The Missouri Valley 2/18/2024

Hoops HD Daily Rundown – Sunday Feb 18th--Hoops HD

NEWS AND NOTES:

-Indiana State has now lost two straight, and this may be too much to overcome. After building up a 22-3 record with some pretty good wins and cracking the rankings for the first time in over four decades, the Trees have now lost two straight, and while Southern Illinois is not the easiest place to go and win, it’s absolutely the type of road game that a team that’s inside the bubble needs to hold serve in. Indiana State is still good, and still potentially dangerous in the Round of 64, but it may be that they’ll need to win the MVC Tournament in order to get to the Round of 64.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-MURRAY STATE AT DRAKE (Missouri Valley) . Drake may now be the frontrunner in the MVC and the team that’s best positioned to land inside the bubble. They need to hold serve today and for the rest of the year.
