What's Up In The Missouri Valley 11/22/2024

Hoops HD Daily Rundown – Friday, Nov 22nd--Hoops HD

NEWS AND NOTES:

-In one of the more surprising results of the day (at least to me) Drake knocked off Miami Fl 80-69 in the Charleston Classic, and at no point did it really ever feel that Drake was not in control. I didn’t think Drake would have much at all this year after the roster overhaul from a year ago, and I thought Miami FL would end up being a solid top 25 team. This is why I don’t bet on sports.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-DRAKE VS FLORIDA ATLANTIC (Charleston Classic). Both teams are coming off of really nice wins, both really needed those, and both could really use this win today. FAU has looked good this season and just missed putting some really nice wins on their resume in the previous week, but they got a nice one yesterday against Oklahoma State. Drake remains unbeaten after getting a nice win against Miami FL yesterday. Both appear to be good teams, but both also have limited chances at notable wins, which is what makes the games in this event so important.

-ILLINOIS STATE VS MCNEESE (Paradise Jam). If McNeese is going to build up their resume at all, they need to do well in this event. It’s pretty much as simple as that.
