  • MVC Tournament Games - Everyone Else

    Tonight's lines.

    Missouri State -9.5 vs. Evansville

    SIU -3.5 vs. Drake

    Who do you guys like? I think I might like both favorites to win and cover.

    I almost feel bad for the MSU and SIU fans. These teams have had success in recent years, and had high hopes at different times this year. It's gotta be hard convincing yourself that your team has a 4 game run in them.

    I think evansville could win this one. They must be feeling good about beating us.

    I hope Drake wins because I don't want to play SIU a third time. But I bet SIU pulls it out.

        MSU lost last game

        SIU and Drake lost their last 2 games.

        Evansville won last 2 games against us and drake. But lost practically every game before that little win streak.

        None of these teams are really playing good bball right now. I say if anyone evansville has a little momentum.

        By the way the last team drake beat was SIU.

          They are just picks, and it's just a stab, because as you even suggest, none of these teams are playing good bball right now.

            I agree I was just wasting time on panther nation breaking down the games a little. Not disagreeing with your predictions!

            I agree crap shoot at best.

            Is it time for the panthers to play yet?

              What I want: Evansville and Drake.

              What will happen: MSU and SIU.

                I honestly think this MSU team is the best play-in team maybe in the history of the Valley. I only saw them play 3 or 4 times this year on TV, and once at McLeod, but they sure impressed me when I saw them. I don't understand how they have such a difficult time away from home.

                Evansville is on a roll. They've won 3 of 5 conference games, two against WSU and UNI, and an OT loss @ WSU as well as finishing the season with a road win @ Drake. They have got to be feeling pretty confident they can pull the upset right now.

                That could be a great game.


                As far as Drake vs. SIU, I hope Drake wins in 8 OTs.

                  I agree that MSU is a good team with the potential to beat almost anyone on any given day. They lack some age and experience which has bitten them. I think this shows that the Valley isn't quite the paddy-cake that the "talking heads" would like to think. They are still just having a hard time getting their heads around the fact that SIU and Creighton (or even WSU) aren't the big dogs and that UNI is for two years running. Better said, UNI is the BIG CATS of the Valley, I guess.
