Around the Valley News

Breath taking. The incompetence of the league is so unbelievable that you couldn't even make these situations up.

There's some bad news from the women's tournament. Evidently Bradley had some positive Covid tests. The conference still wanted the game to be played but MSU didn't want to risk any contact with Bradley because it could impact them in the NCAA tournament. Now they are talking about MSU forfeiting the game.

Bradley and Drake both had a positive but it was determined both teams had enough players to play.
mo.st. did pull out of tourney. Illinois st. and Loyola will play tonight and Drake advances to title game tomorrow

I've seen that too. Not an awful idea by his agent to float it to keep him relevant.

The chances of him moving with his son going into his senior year of high school and being the returning starting quarterback at CF? Darn near zero.

How good is Jake's son? Is someone we are recruiting for either football or basketball?

Drake draws Wichita St in a first four game. That'll be interesting.

It’s like a valley reunion in that bracket, Creighton’s in there too.

Loyola as an 8 seed not ideal.

Illinois should be very nervous about loyola

I like Loyola, but that first game against Georgia Tech could be a tough one (for both teams). I watched the 2nd half of the 2nd half of the ACC Championship game last night, and G. Tech was very impressive.

It sucks, because the three teams I was pulling hardest for was Loyola (MVC team which means money for winning), Illinois (because it really upsets Iowa fans and that's funny to me), and Ga Tech (they're just so dang likable) and now all but one of them will be gone by the end of the weekend.

He is not a Division I athlete. If he we're to walk on, it would be basketball.

[sevelev711]

Also, as is the case every year, the sheer disrespect of the MVC shines through. Loyola, #22 in the AP, #10 in the NET, #9 in Kenpom, and... the #29-#32 range in the tourney.

He’s not very tall either. He was roughly about the same height as Johnston’s point guard, Ellis, who is a future D1 basketball player.

If there was ever a question of whether to cheer for Drake or somewhat illogically resent them for being a benefactor to our prematurely ended season, seeing their opponent put that to rest. Go Bulldogs!

Since there is no way both can lose there is some satisfaction in knowing one of them must.

Yea, I'm no Drake fan, but I'll take Drake over Wichita every single time.

They could both have enough positive Covid tests before the game to be unable to field a team . Double forfeit.
