You guys are very slick with your Easter eggs!!

Please do not take that as set in stone. We just got some info that makes Them pretty much a lock. It is very educated assumption is all it is .

I was just told the MVC is only going to 12.  Now I can not verify this but this guy has been right before. I’m not gonna tell you the 2 teams he mentioned but neither is from Kentucky

I’m gonna guess they’re from Illinois and Texas?

Topic starter  

UT Arlington barely beats Belmont in that it actually has a message board but no posts in 14 days and 1 post since June 10th.

Everything points to the Valley adding UT-Arlington and UIC.  If true that SIU doesn’t want Murray State shame on them .  We have certainly shied away from a competitive schedule since the Lowery days. This years non-conference schedule is a joke and what is worse is we are barely over .500 against it. So adding two weak D1 teams while disappointing is right up SIU’s ally.

Mostly agree with this. If you want to split hairs, you could say UT-Arlington has been closer to decent than weak for the past decade (and occasionally pretty good). The hope would be both programs would improve some in the Valley.

But I also would have liked to see Murray from a hoops standpoint, and am surprised so many on here seem to shy from what would be a compelling (and yes, maybe a bit nasty, in a good way) conference rivalry. I also put a lot of stock in Arch Madness as an event that has given the Valley a ton of national cachet over the years, and in case ya'll haven't noticed, the atmosphere there has taken a major hit post-Creighton and Wichita departures ... adding Murray would have helped reinvigorate attendance there to an extent, while UIC and UT-Arlington would be lucky to combine to bring 90 fans to St. Louis.

If prioritizing competitive basketball and a top-notch conference tournament aren't going to be identities for the Valley, what will be? Just like individual teams need an identity, so do conferences.
