  • Nice Night for the MVC

    UNI of course rolled this evening. This team seems to be getting more and more confident. Slowing down the crazy Day shots certainly helps as well.

    Indiana State 72
    #15 Butler 64

    The Sycamores went on a run late in the first half and controlled most of the game from there. Another nice win from a Valley team expected to finish in the bottom 3rd of the conference.

    #10 Wichita State 83
    Wyoming 69

    This is a game that I could have easily see the Shockers dropping. After going on the road 3 consecutive Saturdays against big time opponents, you have another road game against a pretty good Wyoming team in Laramie. Playing in the high altitude, Wichita took control late after Wyoming cut the lead to one.

    Missouri State 78
    UNC-Wilmington 62

    A nice win over a pretty good Colonial team. The Seahawks are struggling a bit, but the Bears continue to roll through the opponents they are supposed to. A good road victory for the RPI as well.

    Evansville 69
    Illinois State 41

    A one point game at halftime, then suddenly the Aces take the 2nd half 41-14 to dominate. This is a very young Redbird team, so it isn't shocking that they lose this game on the road. But by that margin? Wow. Evansville returns loads of experience, and they could be a team along with Drake that can challenge for the upper half and perhaps that final at large spot from the MVC.

    Creighton is trying to close out #24 Xavier ,as is Southern at Western Kentucky. Full update coming in a bit.

    Drake is the only outstanding game. SIU won 75-70, and Creighton won 73-67. Creighton played at home.

        UPDATE! Real time RPI has the MVC #3 behind the ACC and Pac10...It's a long fall to #4, too.....Is the nation ready for this?? We're the 3rd best league in the nation, and with a few more wins we'll pass the Pac10 and be #2...

                I dont know what the line was on InSt vs. Butler but I would have picked ISU straight up if given the chance. Butler was ripe for the upset in this one.

                Congrats all of MVC tonight!!!

                    Yeah, and I would have picked Buster Douglas to knock out Mike Tyson hours after the fight was over as well.

                    Next time you look into your crystal ball send me a message so I can cash in.

                    By the way, the spread was something like 9.5 if I remember correctly.

                      INSERT EXPLETIVE you. I was being serious. This just seemed like the perfect time for Butler to drop one. Next time I'll make sure to cater all of my thoughts to the guy with 15 posts.

                        Could someone post the conference RPI ratings??

                          Valley standings with RPI:


                          National conference RPI standings:

                          MVC #2

                          By the way, in case people are keeping track from home...there are only four games that remain as of now that UNI plays that are RPI 100+ teams for the REST OF THE YEAR (doesn't include Wartburg who is not counted towards RPI). How many top 100 RPI teams has UNI played this year, thus far? 1....Washington.

                          It should be taken into account that the individual team RPI standings aren't super accurate right now, but I think that shows us just how tough the schedule gets after Saturday's UMKC game.
                          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

                            In Pomeroy's power rankings, nine of the MVC teams are in the Top 74, with UNI 74th. Drake is 151. http://www.kenpom.com/rate.php

                            Click on the SOS, and notice how many BCS conference teams play what Pomeroy considers one of the 100 toughest schedules to date. If I counted correctly, 14.
