Was watching the OVC Championship tonight and the entire arena was Murray State fans. I know Evansville is closer to Murray than St. Louis but that sure would have been a nice pick-up.
BracketMatrix which aggregates all the brackets online has Northern Iowa in first four out and hasn't updated with Utah State's Mountain West Championship which takes them off the bubble.
Lunardi's update this AM moves them to next 4 out. Considering their Arch Madness performance I'm surprised they're still in the conversation to begin with.
If you're gonna reply to me in the forums, please quote what I wrote that you're replying to so I have a clue...thanks! 😀
I love Bradley -3 today. I expect fatigue/reality will set in for Valpo against a physical team like the Braves.
This is a little late, but WTF was that performance by Indiana State against Missouri State on Friday? Just when Lansing had earned a bit of good will back, they lay another egg in St. Louis ...

On a scale of bad, they weren't as bad as State College of Iowa Purple Kitties - blown out by a team they had beaten by 27 points a week ago!

Murray’s regular visits to Dance would come to a screeching halt. Not so sure their fans would be so hung-ho then. The Obscure Valley Conference is a cake walk compared to the rigors of the MVC. This year’s tournament is a testament to that. I see the choir boys knocked off the boyz last night.
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.

Soph. Javon Freeman-Liberty is the best player in the league IMO. 2nd leading scorer, led the MVC in steals, 7th in rebounds, 6th in assists - had 29 pts yesterday, recovering from mono! I'd take him over A.J. Greene!
Fazekis is shooting 53% from three in the MVC.
Donovan Clay is playing great (all-freshman team - from Alton - wish we had got him).
Valpo and Bradley split the season.
Valpo definitely has a chance to win this game.
Not a good crowd for a championship game. You’d like to see what SIU could bring to a finals game with fanbases like UNI, Bradley, and even ISUr
I would rather have Bradley represent the MVC, but holy crap: Valpo looks possessed.
(There, I just jinxed them.)
Haha! Bradley just took the lead while I was typing this!

Bradley's toughest test this tournament on their way to the NCAA’s was SIU. Hopefully that can be sold to the team heading into next year.
Well, that all crashed in a hurry.

I think I am going to puke
Easiest path in the history of the tourny. Wow
Really looked like Valpo ran out of steam. Give them credit for an outstanding run, but coming all the way from Thursday to win the tournament is such a tall order.
And I stand by my earlier contention that Bradley -3 was a big opportunity today.
I still believe Northern Iowa belongs in the NCAA field. Don't think they will given the favoritism typically shown to the big $ schools, but they certainly have a solid case, as outlined here:
