Interesting: Lunardi's 1/24 Bracketology update still has 2 MVC teams making the tournament, with UNI on the "Last Four In" list as an 11 and Loyola as a 14 (and presumably conference champ).

It's an insane year for college basketball, would not want to be a bracketologist this year
Loyola-Northern Iowa going to OT on ESPNU. Northern Iowa really gagged one down the stretch.
UNI and Loyola headed to OT on ESPNU. Really good game! At the very least Loyola will come into Carbondale after grueling game today.
Northern Iowa and Drake win and Valpo leads Evansville at the half
Valpo barely hangs on. MVC Standings sit at:
1. Loyola 6-2
1. Northern Iowa 6-2
3. Bradley 5-3
3. Southern Illinois 5-3
3. Drake 5-3
7. Missouri State 4-4
7. Indiana State 4-4
7. Valparaiso 4-4
9. Illinois State 1-7
10. Evansville 0-8
We are 1 game out of first and 1 game out of eighth. 😄
KenPom has SIU avoiding Thursday by 2 games right now by projections. The Salukis have also played the 2nd hardest schedule in the league behind the Redbirds.

Avoiding Thursday is this season's victory, right? I love what's happening but I'm not expecting miracles. Avoiding Thursday would be amazing.

I’m with you and avoiding Thursday exceeds preseason expectations. The even better part is that Mullins and Co. have even higher expectations for this season and it shows. It’s a great day to be a Saluki.
Is it too soon to start the "Mullins for Valley COY" chant?

Never too early to make positive comments about a coaching staff that is doing such an exemplary job with recruiting, game prep and culture development.
WOOF!

Mullins is basically a lock for this if SIU keeps playing how they’re playing. Jacobson and Moser will split any votes they get and nobody else has really over-exceeded expectations

Not to mention the injury adversities they have overcome.
March on triumphantly!
This chart of 100,000 simulations of the rest of the Valley season gives the Salukis a 67% chance of avoiding Thursday.
