Around the Valley

Drake finally snares a big win on a neutral floor over 11-0 Mississippi State. Too bad they squandered their lead at SLU.

@insaluki yeah i think i turned the game on when he got his longest stint of playing time and scored, noticed he didnt play much the final stretch.  still looked good and most of those stats were probably mid second half

Valley Games for Wednesday:

Stonehill @ Valparaiso 12:00 PM ESPN+ 

St. Ambrose @ Drake 1:00 PM ESPN+

Murray State @ Middle Tennessee 6:00 PM ESPN+ (Middle Tennessee favored by 6.5)

St. Bonaventure @ Northern Iowa 6:00 PM ESPN+ 

Samford @ Belmont 6:30 PM ESPN+ (Belmont favored by 3.5)

Bellarmine @ Evansville 7:00 PM ESPN+ 

Marty Simmons and Eastern Illinois just beat Iowa 92-83.  They were 31.5 point underdogs.

Jeez are you even trying Drake?

SIUE beats SLU for the first time. Their coach is the son of Tony Barone, former Creighton and NBA coach. Terrence McGee, assistant here under Hinson, is one of his assistants. Glad we didn't play E tonight.

siu big E beats Billikens

Good day for the Valley besides Murray State losing to Middle Tennessee.  Samford was a preseason darling but they've really struggled lately and Belmont took advantage.

Drake playing an NAIA school in the regular season is embarrassing. 

D1 schools that schedule non D1 teams in the regular season should be banned from postseason play.

@salukiworld great day for the OVC SIU-E does the impossible and beats Duke oh wait SLU at SLU and E Illinois beats an Iowa team that SEMO played tough held them to 106 and only lost to them by 31 Saturday. With Southern Indiana SHOCKING 2 of the best Missouri Valley teams SIU and Indiana State this season the OVC has really had some nice victories this season.

Indiana State down 11 to Northern Illinois in the 2nd half, would be another brutal loss for the Valley.

Also tonight:

Akron @ Bradley 4:00 PM ESPN+ (Bradley favored by 5)

Sam Houston/Missouri State got canceled due to weather

I'm watching the game.........how did that team dominate SIU for a good portion of the game and then look so bad, at home, against NIU ??  Basketball can be so random.  

Since I've turned it on, it looks like NIU is gonna do anything they can to blow this one.  Just a matter of if the Trees can take advantage

NIU just threw in an absolute prayer to end their long scoring drought and this one looks over

Chicago State giving Minnesota all they want down 6 with 6 to go and it is in Minnesota
