Mosley/Prim are gonna be tough to beat. If they can't get it done this year, not sure when they will.
If they get by tomorrow, which will likely be a coin toss, I don't see them winning it all. They got beat by UNI twice including a 20pt trouncing and while they did split with Loyola, they lost at home to them in their most recent match up and Loyola is now healthy. I'm not saying it's impossible, but if I were a betting man (and I am) I would put $$ on Loyola or UNI.
#3 seed Morehead State upsets #2 Belmont in the OVC semis. They get #1 Murray State tomorrow. Belmont seems to have the same problems as SIU, not a lot of athleticism and struggles against the teams with athleticism (Morehead and Murray). They did beat Drake this year though.
Quick question….Is there a site that shows NIL money for The Valley? Do any Salukis have any NIL deals?
Northern Iowa doing their best SIU impression in St. Louis. 1-10 from 3, Loyola up 12 with 2:38 left in the 1st half
8-0 run for Loyola to finish the half and go into the half up 16

I don't think so. I don't think there is any clearinghouse or any place where they compile all that information together. You'd probably have to go to each of the individual schools and ask for information.
Northern Iowa off to the NIT. Loyola gets the winner of Drake/Missouri State
I think Loyola punched their ticket today. If they lose tomorrow I don't know how the committee can justify leaving them out as an at large. I will be rooting hard for whoever plays Loyola tomorrow.
My message to Loyola is - go to the tourney, get SIU their $ share and then phuck off to the A-10!
Northern Iowa went 15:00 without a field goal to end the game and loses 66-43. We've seen a lot of bad offense by SIU this year but nothing like that.
I’m not sure who UNI is bringing back next year, but if Green leaves I think they are going to struggle. Absent an impact transfer or two. I would never count a Ben Jacobsen team out, but outside of Carter and Born I just don’t see much there.
Not how you want to go out
Dunno if Loyola was that good our UNI that bad, but sure didn't expect this cakewalk for the Ramblers. Unlike a lot of you, I have no hatred for Loyola. Wish them well in the tourney. They still represent the Valley until next year. We shall see if greener pastures await.
Missouri State leading Drake 33-32 at halftime. Prim went to the bench early with 2 fouls and didn't make much of a difference. Mosley led with 15 points.
DeVries doesn't play like a Freshman. He's gonna be a force in the Valley for the next 3 years
Missouri State up 3 with 3:49 left
