Murray State leads by 3 with 41 seconds left in OT. Rob Perry continues to come up big for the Racers
Murray State going to be 2-0 with 2 OT wins over Illinois State and Valpo. Can't say either win has been impressive but I guess they'll take the 2-0.
Avila with 13 points and 9 rebounds with 5:50 left. Sure hope Hornecker works out like I think he will because we were really interested in Avila.
He has looked good, but I'd take Ebube over both - highest cieling, IMO. Our frontcourt has a bright future with Rupert, Ebube, and Cade.
I think only time will tell. Avila was able to come in and play right away and is also an offensive minded player. As tough and athletic as Ebube may be, he is not a scorer. He can/will get his points, but they are more of the put back, dunk, etc variety. Also, the reality is that Ebube has played in just 1 collegiate game, against the 329th ranked team in the country and only got on the court for 8 minutes.
One thing we can agree on is I wish he were healthy and able to play now to see if he could force his way into some meaningful minutes. Hopefully only a few more weeks.

I blame you for jinxing Valpo. 😉 😉 🤣
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
IMHO, we can use help in the paint rebounding, defending, and just taking up space in general. 6-10/265 and athletic works in any conference. Really sucks to have both him and JD concurrently sidelined.Avila with 13 points and 9 rebounds with 5:50 left.

I doubt they are dancing in the streets of Murray over two OT victories (one at home) of two bottom feeders in their new conference. On second thought, maybe they are, they have spent decades in the OVC after all.Murray State going to be 2-0 with 2 OT wins over Illinois State and Valpo.

Twitter suggests they’re all pretty pleased to be 2-0 in the MVC. I don’t think anyone has told them all yet that the two teams they’ve beat are OVC quality wins lol.
Missouri Valley Games for Tuesday:
Bradley @ SIUe 7:00 PM ESPN+ (Bradley favored by 6)

While not a Valley game, St Louis is getting manhandled by Iona on the road.
@insaluki while im surprised i still believe unlv is the best team on the schedule we had this year. stl shot lights out and the refs bailed them out when we closed it to two, was not nearly as impressed by them as i was unlv. im surprised slu lost that bad though, our fanbase would be crying for the coaches head by now
Bradley beats SIUe by 2. I wouldn't be shocked to see SIUe in the NCAA Tournament this year out of the OVC.
