And according to another tweet, Indiana State was without Avila (minor injury).
Conwell has led them in both scrimmages.
Hopefully the MVC teams can play well and stay relatively healthy in the non conference season. I expect UNI, Indiana State, Drake, Bradley and possibly Belmont and Missouri State to be pretty good this year. The higher the NET for all MVC teams going into conference the better.https://twitter.com/trillydonovan/status/1718378519430914438?s=46&t=7s0hTttieSER8wqRSA0LoA

Seems like it's a tough go for waivers this cycle. Gray likely would have been a starter for Indiana State.

Nothing to see here. Just some goofy professors that think athletics is a waste of money. SIU has some of these quacks in their system too.
Looks like NJ Benson cracked the starting 5 for Mo State in their exhibition game tonight.
Caught a little bit of UNI vs. the Coe College Kohawks - what's a Kohawk?
UNI has got some serious shooters on that team. 15 - 23 from three - 65%
Starters played around 21 minutes.
Of course I don't expect great D from D3 Kohawks!
Jacob Hutson 1-1
Bowen Born 4-4
Tytan Anderson 1-2
Trey Campbell 2-3
Landon Wolf 3-4
Kyle Pock 3-6 (6'6" forward from Missouri - 3 time 1st team All-State who can really shoot)
RJ Taylor 1-2
UNI has some promising young players.

Even national writers can't get waiver info outta Mullins. 😆
Though based on the stream of declined waivers I see nationally, have to assume Hensley is not going to play this year.

Hope nobody had Pettigrew (Bradley portal transfer from Nevada) as their Valley Newcomer of the Year prediction:

He wasn't that impressive at Nevada and certainly not in their projected starting lineup so likely not a big loss. I know Barkeep, and others, like to hate on other Valley teams, but it just doesn't make sense. The Valley is currently the 12th rated conference in Kenpom and if they finish there, or higher, we can get multiple teams in the post season tournaments. I want Valley teams to win as many games as possible in the non-conference.
Bradley-UAB is going to overtime. Bradley blew a big lead but came back late. Would be a really nice win for the MVC.
Just some absolutely CRAZY game swings... the Braves were once up 40-21, then down 59-48 (that's a 38-8 run!), and managed to come back to tie this thing in the final 6 minutes. Wild stuff.Bradley-UAB is going to overtime. Bradley blew a big lead but came back late. Would be a really nice win for the MVC.
