Mvc round #8 pick 'ems...uni movin' on up

[valleyclimber]

Valley round # 8 rolls around and as we move toward to the mid-point UNI is in a pretty good spot. Here's how I've got MVC #8 going:

Bulldogs > Redbirds in Des Moines

Salukis > Aces in Carbondale

Trees > Bears in Terre Haute

Shockers > Panthers in Wichita

Bluejays > Braves

Going with all the home courters. Should be a fun week in the Valley

All home, except the Panthers show the round house isn't much of an advantage at all!

I think this is where you start to see the Trees come back to earth. Even with the great start I just don't see them finishing any better than 5th or 6th.

They still have to come here as well as visit omaha, springfield, and wichita. IMO, they don't finish any better than 10-8.

i think you'll be suprised...ISU blue will finish 4/5. if not 3rd. Richard is a tremendous player and Kelly makes their backcourt even better. They could be dangerous in St. Louis.

I think most people think that the Trees will finish somewhere in that 4-5 range that is what they mean by fall back to earth. Most are just saying they won't be finishing out the conference season without a few more losses, and finish somewhere around 10-8 to 12-6

This is a year where there is actually going to be some separation of the top six. It may take ten wins to avoid thursday night, because Drake, Bradley, illinois state are going to eat up so few wins...
