Pretty good showing by the Bears on the road. I think MSU and Indiana State will challenge for the mvc top 5 along with Drake, Southern and Bradley. There may be a significant drop after the top 5 as it looks like Belmont, Murray, UNI and others have rebuilding projects going on.BYU wins with 1 second left over Missouri State
I wouldn't include Murray on that list just yet. Need more time to see if they are the team that got shellacked by St. Louis (although I'm guessing SIU will get the same) or the team that just beat Texas A&M. Regardless, good win for the Valley after early season disappointments.
Indiana State beats North Dakota State 101-75. Courvoisier McCauley with 30 points, he'll be your MVC Newcomer of the Year this year.
Illinois State loses the return game at home to Northwestern State

Murray St up 7 with just under 9 min left to play. They are quick, athletic and can score. That being said, they seem undisciplined to me. Regardless, a dangerous team that can play with anyone in the Valley.
As an example to my undisciplined comment, Murray was up 8 with just under 6 min to go and 20 seconds still left on the shot clock and their PG jacks up an NBA 3, which of course bricked.

And since that ONE play, UMASS has gained all momentum and tied the game, going on a 7-0 run. As much as I'm rooting for the Valley (Murray), I can't help but dislike them.
Murrray now losing with 18 seconds left. Going to take a last second shot to win this game. If they do lose this, it would be an incredibly painful one as they simply just gave it away.
Wow, UMASS missed both FT's. Now Murray on the line with 7 seconds left to go up.
I can't believe it, the Madness is back. Murray State drains both FT's and then defend it very well but UMASS guard hits a 3 with .7 seconds left on the clock to steal the game. Murray State lost this one.
UMass hits a 3 at the buzzer to win
