on the officiating note I think Bonner is calling the Grand Canyon game. Just turned it on. Maybe she can one up petty. Thought I was done seeing these jokers. Wonder what the over under on a missed over and back call is for this game.That was the primary complaint on that episode, it is for the conference as a whole as well, so not like it was one sided or anything.if they are some of the better paid officials from what I have witnessed this year the Valley isn't getting their money's worthI believe they are one of the higher paid conferences for officials. They at least were paid rather well, I remember there being more info on this in a March to the Arch Podcast from last year, I believe the episode right before the Valley Tournment.maybe the valley pony up some money to get better officialsI try not to be critical of officials, but I thought the quality of officiating in the MVC this year was not very good. It might be time to look at some new, and younger, officials.
Last post for the night. Good to see James Madison, which we took down to the wire, about to defeat Wisconsin (although it's not so good if you picked Wisconsin in your bracket).
Utah State just won a Tournament game with all players scoring a point not being on their roster last year. Hell of a job by Danny Sprinkle
Grand Canyon looks like how I want our roster to look. Skill and length everywhere.
James Madison whips up on the Wisco Badgers.
Nebraska gets blown out by Texas a&m.
And Purdue whips Gramb.ling behind Zach Edeys 20 rebounds and a million points.
Grand canyon about to whip St Mary's that is a good team.
Utah State proves you can rebuild right away. They won the Mountain West and they whipped TCU tonight. They also lost to Bradley earlier this year. (And as you probably know Bradley easily beat Loyola who won the A10.)
My bracket is ruined but I love seeing all these upsets. Shows why the big guys won't come and play the little guys.

Combine a roster like that with a coach like Utah State's Danny Sprinkle who can rebuild on the fly and we'll be well on our way.
Dayton may be in trouble 🤣
Makes more sense now. Found out Grand Canyon is loaded and outspends their conference by a mile.

I believe they are the only division 1 “for profit” school.
Yup, Grand Canyon University is very loaded with money, have you not seen the commercials they run on national tv? They have for years. They are a HUGE online university, and make a ton of money off that.Makes more sense now. Found out Grand Canyon is loaded and outspends their conference by a mile.
Oh no Bradley is getting smacked early by Cincinnati.
oh the agony 🤣
we smacked them for a halfOh no Bradley is getting smacked early by Cincinnati.
oh the agony 🤣
Zags struggled early on with new pieces this year but have really come together now. Would be pretty funny if their "down" year is the one they finally win it all
Oh no not Kansas 🤣
