Illinois State played in a really tough tourney and went home 0-3. They’re in for a rough season.
@salukiworld I don't see how Valpo can justify keeping Lottich even the rest of this season. That team is absolutely brutal.

Valpo is now #279 in KenPom, 1 spot below Illinois State

Because Valpo was expected to be better. KenPom is still somewhat based on predictions at this point. When the NET comes out, it’ll be lower.
This is a good observation. KenPom is extremely weighted on expectations early. I don't think you can get a good reading on KenPom or Net rating until mid to late January at the earliest.@salukiworld I don't see how Valpo can justify keeping Lottich even the rest of this season.

Valpo falls to 2-4 with an 11 point loss to South Dakota State.
Missouri State down 6 with 2:56 left to a 2-3 #224 UNC Wilmington team in the Nassau Championship.
Our first MVC opponent Evansville starts a stretch of 3 games in 3 days against 1-3 South Alabama tonight.
Evansville down 10 to South Alabama with 5:50 left. They seem to play hard in first halves and then fall apart after halftime.

Missouri State about to lose another to Ball State, which Indiana State beat by 12 earlier this year.
Northern Iowa in a battle with one of the worst teams in college basketball at home. This really might be the worst Valley we've seen in awhile.
Good news for Bradley, Rienk Mast is back. Bradley up 20 on Merrimack.
drake up 20 on Louisiana about 16 min left.
only conclusion i can come to is the officiating is unbearable and horrible so moving on to another game

Drake sort of letting it slip late. Louisiana is a good team though (#124 in KenPom) so it'll go down as a quality win for the Bulldogs.
UIC beating a bad Green Bay team by 7 at halftime.
Murray State up 6 on a decent Chattanooga team on the road
