2020-21 Other Games of Interest thread

We've got some nice out of conference opportunities for the Valley in the next few days and some have already tipped.
ISUr getting blasted by the Buckeyes as they near half but Drake is leading at KState. Eville plays Louisville later on this afternoon.

Ohio State was up 22-0.

Drake gets it done in Manhattan. KState might not turn into much this season but it's still a true road win for the Valley against a P6 opponent.
Well done, Dogs.

It's always nice to see Drake do something.

I hope Drake loses every MVC game to non-Illinois schools but I hope they, and every MVC team for that matter, goes on to win every non-con game. The league needs to grow through the success of MANY programs not just a couple

Bradley also got a win yesterday (vs Toledo) and have a chance for a bigger win today vs Xavier.

Hello Panthers,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I started a new blog that will be focused on MVC Basketball and MVFC Football. I am a longtime Valley fan (actually a UNI fan specifically) who is a veteran of 17 Arch Madnesses. I have been making MVC writeups for my friends for years and consider myself a pretty good writer, so I figured why not post my write-ups publicly for other MVC fans to read if they'd like? I intend to post a couple times a week. Sometimes I'll comment on the current league goings-on, sometimes I'll talk about the mid-major/NCAA scene overall, and sometimes I'll post about MVC history.

I launched yesterday with five articles. I have my 2020-21 MVC Preview broken into three parts, a piece detailing how I'd handle the NCAA Tournament during the pandemic, and a piece listing each MVC school's greatest basketball team of the 21st century. I think it is pretty good sampling of the things I intend to do moving forward.

Thanks!

WKU v Memphis has begun.
Memphis has a 7 ft five star center of their own. Should be fun to watch that matchup with Bassey.
Memphis is long!!!!

[CyCarp]

Memphis is your typical, incredibly talented but poorly coached team. Penny was just a recruiting tool, I think Jake would have outcoached him so bad it's laughable. Hopefully WKU can pull this out.

Bradley neck and neck with Xavier. 1:37 to go.

[CyCarp]

And WKU up 7 late on Memphis

[sivert]

Bradley up by one 12.7 sec.

[CyCarp]

Wow, Xavier gets a roll, that sure looked like it was gonna fall out.

[CyCarp]

FT shooter got the ole tight cheeks at the end for Bradley. That's a tough loss. Had a chance to win it, and front end of the 1 and 1 wasn't even close.

[BCPanther]

Missed 3 Free Throws in the last 90 seconds. Can't win close games that way.
