What's Up In The Missouri Valley 2/28/2024

Bracketology 2024: Who’s Locked Up A Bid? (As of 2/28/2024)--Blogging the Bracket

Elsewhere

The Sun Belt, through App State and James Madison, and Missouri Valley, via Indiana State and Drake, could potentially place two teams in the field, but it might take quite a few stumbles among the multi-bid league contenders for this to happen.

Wednesday Games

Old Dominion at App State, 6:30 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
James Madison at Georgia State, 7 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
Drake at UIC, 8 (ESPN+ ($))
Indiana State at Evansville, 8 (ESPN+ ($))

Of these four contenders, only the Mountaineers play at home in the midweek window, while the remaining three teams face trap road games.
