@usmcsaluki for the sake of Valpo fans, I hope not.
Valpo at Evansville this Saturday: one team will finally get their first Valley win, but if the Aces pull it off does Lottich have a job the next day?

As bad as Valpo is, they're beating Evansville by 16 on the road with 10:00 left. Evansville is all-time bad.
Our home win against Belmont is looking pretty good, although they've had a pretty easy conference schedule to this point.

Belmont seems like a different team at home than on the road. Pretty glad SIU misses them on the road this year.
They are a much better team at home but gave up a big lead to UNI and almost lost it. That was the ONE road game, outside of the obvious Valpo, that my wife and I were excited to plan around. Nashville is a FUN place with incredible food. We're already looking forward to next year.
Evansville goes 18/36 from the free throw line and loses by 7 points.
Missouri Valley Conference games for Sunday:
Indiana State @ Missouri State 2:00 PM ESPN+ (Missouri State favored by 1)
I'm a bit surprised by MSU being favored in that game.
If Ind. St loses, 3 way tie for first between us, Insu, and Belmont with
Evansville coming here for a beat down Tues. - good opportunity for Cade, AJ, Wonders, etc. to get more than the last minute of the game.
I have never rooted for Meth State Missouri before. I have an issue with the nightmare gift they gave us. However here we are 🤣

My guess is that over the next 11 games, we're going to be rooting for teams we never thought we would ever root for.
