MVC Conference Games

Re: MVC Conference Games

The league continues to cannibalize itself.

I would like to see maybe one valley non UNI game go our way. Ugh.

Re: MVC Conference Games

dont get upset folks...this is the break we needed to have a shot at 1st!

Re: MVC Conference Games

Looking on the bright side--every ISUb, CU, and WSU loss the rest of the way gets us one game closer to a conference championship if we keep winning.

Other than that, yeah, what's happening is definitely not good for the league...

Re: MVC Conference Games

you can continue to call me nuts but we are in damn good shape folks. that was a huge break if we can close out.

Re: MVC Conference Games

I realize that with the financial state of our athletic dept, I should be cheering for as many teams to make it to the NCAA Tournament as possible from the MVC, which I am. But if that loss by Indiana State helps position us better in STL to make a run at the NCAA Tournament ourselves, I'm totally fine with it.
I could have viewed either outcome of that game as a positive. A MSU win gets us closer to ISU (I realize they hold the tiebreaker over us but they could still lose 2 of their last 4). An ISU win would have all but guaranteed MSU finished behind us and locks them into Thursday, plus it doesn't kill ISU NCAA at-large chances.
Honestly, I'm ok with the outcome either way.

I don't see how ISUblue losing tonight helps us that much. We would need to win out and have them lose 2 games to pass them in the standings, correct? I was hoping the Trees would take off and leave CU and WSU in the 2/3 game in St. Louis.

Gotta win tomorrow. I think if we win that one, it may just be the confidence/momentum boost we need for the last 4 MVC games with 3 being on the road.

Re: MVC Conference Games

If I remember, doesn't Mo St. play a bunch of freshman? Impressive win if that's the case.

They do still have to lose 2 of 4 and we need to win out to pass ISUb.
ISUb's remaining schedule:
@ Bradley - tough to win on the road, just look at the past few weeks.
Wichita State - even though ISUb won in Wichita, still a tough game
Drake
@ Evansville - I believe Evansville is undefeated at home in conference play.

We would have to win EVERY game from here on out for that to matter.

i dont care about passing them. i care about winning the conference title. we are going to have to win it all in STL to dance anyways.

Re: MVC Conference Games

6 losses might be good enough for a share. This league is so freaking good.

I can't wait for tomorrow night!!!

Re: MVC Conference Games

ISUblue lost to MSU tonight.

The crown is still up for grabs boys.
