15-0 run for Bradley and they lead 55-41 with 9:38 left.
Bradley on the verge of their first conference championship since 1996.
Drake not dead yet. Couple turnovers and baskets for the Bulldogs
Drake is probably dead now. Bradley up 11 with 4:10 left.
Rienk Mast looks like he turned his ankle. They took him back to the locker room but he's back now.
Bradley beats Drake 73-61 and wins the MVC Regular Season Championship. First time in 27 years.
Murray and Valpo going to overtime. Valpo gets the #9 seed if they win.
Unfortunately, I don't see Murray State or Valpo giving Drake much of a game. Hopefully, I'm wrong. Hoping UIC v Bears is a very tough, physical, close game that goes to the wire or overtime. Sycs v Belmont should be an awesome 2nd round game. Hopefully UNI can get hot and give Bradley at least a little competition.
NET Ratings:

Drake would probably be on the right side of the NCAA tourney bubble if the RPI was still considered instead of the NET. The NET is a freaking joke!
Good, sell Southern short. I like our chances when we're the rested team. Not 100% sure on the Missouri State figuring it out thing. True, Missouri State won at Indiana State and beat Murray at home, but they lost to UNI at home the game before that. Also, I wouldn't sell UIC short. They have a shot against the Bears Thursday night. It's going to be a fun Arch Madness!https://twitter.com/WyattWheeler_NL/status/1629990696865222660

Not sure who this guy is, (and I get this is tongue in cheek humor).
That said, it is still full of douche baggery. No disrespect intended. 😎
March on triumphantly!

He's the beat writer for the Springfield, MO newspaper. I think he has a show on a local radio station, too.
