What's Up In The Missouri Valley 12/6/2025


Week 5 Weekend Watchlist--Basket Under Review

#85 Belmont (-2) at #142 MTSU, 4:30 PM ET, ESPN+.

Great in-state battle here. This doesn't have a cool name like Battle of the Boulevard, but it's a fun test of two items: the power of an elite shooting offense in Belmont versus the inexplicable shot-killing powers of the Murphy Center. You should read this if you haven't, IMO!

MTSU's wonky defense (no jumpers allowed, but everything gets funneled to the rim) is a fun matchup against the usual Belmont motion offense that has shooters everywhere and will work hard to get open. As always at the Glass House, jumpers are an open question, and a Belmont team that wants a ton both ways versus an MTSU one that wants everything to go inside is going to be intriguing. - Will Warren
