2021-22 Games of Interest Thread

Bonaventure currently down 40 in a neutral site game with Virginia Tech. Woof.

It was inevitable, but COVID has struck the Valley - Loyola cancels their last two non conference games (Norfolk St and Davidson) due to positive tests.

Arkansas has lost it's last two games, vs Oklahoma and vs Hofstra, not that "our resume" matters too much any more, but it's looking like Arkansas was a little overrated.

Eastern Michigan at Valpo on an espn channel close game but woof. Valpo didn't bother to pull out the bleachers on the end. The rest of the pull out bleachers aren't half full. The espn announcers are boom goes the dynamite esc.

To be fair, it's not like we're filling the stadium up these days, for whatever reasons one wants to say is the cause.

[CyCarp]

Loyola ends up scheduling a game with San Francisco after both games this week are postponed due to COVID. Pretty good swap of games for them.

[CyCarp]

Loyola scrounges their way to a first OT, then a second, and now pulling away. What a game, and what a collapse by Valpo.

Valpo really let me down tonight. I mean, objectively, it's good for the MVC if Drake and Loyola win basically every game left, until Arch Madness...But that's not nearly as funny.

Drake has no at large chance either.

We need to be in full on what's best for us mode.

It's huge that Loyola and Drake have both missed games that are going to be jammed in other places.

Exactly. We need to be cheering for results that give us the best path to a conference title. Just give me the last game of the year (Loyola at home) for the conference title and I’ll be a happy camper.

Hadn't been paying attention to them, really thought that they would be doing better than that. Amazing that we're having the season we're having, and yet we're only like 10 spots back from them in Kenpom/Barttorivik.

That'll happen when you schedule ****ty.

Unacceptable that a team that had all that coming back has the 277th ranked schedule. Then again, Darian is pretty good at scheduling himself into 20 wins...

[sevelev711]

It has exactly zero bearing on our season, but Wichita State lost at home to Tulane, which is just spectacular.
