Are they any good? Really no standout wins, and they got destroyed by Dayton. Still 12-4 isn’t a bad record.

They play hard all game every game. That's more than about 6 or 7 other MVC teams can say
That alone will win them more than a few games, especially in this league where you have teams like UE, ISUr, MSU, Valpo etc. that have shown a tendency to shut it down when things are less than perfect.

They're also very well coached and prepared. Darian is the 2nd best coach in the league and does a really good job of putting his guys in position to succeed. They've been even better since they've decided to not play quite as fast.
I like them to finish in the top half pretty easily.#MACtion

Seems like Robbins probably has the MVC most improved player award already locked up to me.
I thought Drake's frontcourt would really struggle this year with Robbins/Ernst. Robbins did an acceptable job filling up for 7 minutes a game last year in MVC play. One year later he is one of the better centers in the conference and really making an impact.
