Illinois State falls to Western Illinois, maybe the only downer of the night in the Valley. Murray State and Valpo both got blown out by much better teams.
Yeah, I totally get disliking this team or that team but for non-conference SIU fans should be rooting for wins for EVERY Conference team. The better the out of conference records, the better for the conference and, ultimate, better for SIU.
Agree insaluki, technically you're right, but it is ISU red and still love seeing them lose. Sorry, it's in my Saluki DNA.
March on triumphantly!

Maybe but I am not rooting for Bradley EVER !!
Drake started off the IUPUI game 18-0 and look pretty darn good. They may even give the Salukis a run for their money. 😋

Drake is impressive but there are D2 teams better than IUPUI
Absolutely. They also signed a 4* player today. If Tucker stays another year, this could be a really fun conference next year where I think we'll see multiple bids for sure. Getting a bit ahead of myself of course, but things are looking bright for the Valley.

Yeah I saw their tweet earlier and looked him up and found nobody saying he was a 4 star other than an article saying ESPN has him as a 4 star. But can't find his player page at all on ESPN. 247 and On3 both don't have him ranked. He had some good MAC offers though.
Honestly aside from the first 10 minutes, I don’t think Drake has looked that good so far. At least, compared to my expectations for them. IUPUI is just baddddd…

Their RS Freshman from Ebube's high school, Enright has been pretty impressive. The Texas Tech transfer was really good in the exhibition, looks like a big-time scorer.

I thought DeVries looked dominant when he wanted to as well. Throw in Penn, who is expected to return as early as next week and then you have a top Mid Major and another team to give the Missouri Valley a good name.
I am watching Northwestern St. on ESPN+ right now. They play ISUred on Saturday. If ISUred loses to these guys, they are absolutely TERRIBLE. Setting hoops back a quarter of a century vs. a Division II team.

Northwestern State just hired their coach from Missouri State and they ended up taking 3 or so of their players via the portal. Actually kind of interested to see how they do this year.
