Around the Valley 24-25

Missouri State about to fall to 0-5 in MVC play after getting thumped at home by UIC (which has looked great tonight).

Looking like a two-horse race to avoid 12th between the Dawgs and Bears, who meet two straight times this weekend in Carbondale and then midweek in Springfield. I guess Evansville could revert to their old ways and get involved in the battle, too.
