Missouri Valley Conference

This appears to be the weakest this Conference has been in years. Creighton could be the only true legitimate NCAA team here. Southern Illinois doesn't look to be improving. I like what Wichita State has done. They have gone from horrible last season to competitive. They could really be a team to watch out for in a year. Illinois State is the sleeper.

Northern Iowa 6-1 12-6
Illinois St. 5-2 16-2
Bradley 5-2 11-7
Creighton 5-3 15-5
Drake 4-3 12-6
Evansville 4-4 12-6
Southern Ill. 3-4 8-10
Indiana St. 2-5 4-14
Missouri St. 1-6 8-10
Wichita St. 1-6 7-11

What a competitive year it is for this conference.

I will tip my hat to Northern Iowa. They are making a run NO ONE saw coming. A lot of the players on the Panthers have developed better than expected in the Conference season. UNI is a very guard-orientated team that is playing shut down defense- which it usually does under their heir of Coaching.

The Panthers don't seem to be a fluke either with 3 quality road wins over Creighton, Southern Illinois, & Drake.

Here are the Bracket Busters match ups.

Friday, Feb. 20
Illinois State at Niagara

Saturday, Feb. 21
George Mason at Creighton
Miami (OH) at Evansville
Northern Iowa at Siena
Bradley at Loyola (Ill.), TBD
Austin Peay at Drake, TBD
Toledo at Indiana State, TBD
Missouri State at Tenn.-Martin, TBD
Southern Illinois at UIC, TBD
Cleveland State at Wichita State, TBD

These are favorable matchups for the Valley. I see no reason we shouldn't go 9-1 in this thing.

I won't mention the WSU/Creighton Quarterfinal :mad:

But I was there for the Tournament in St. Louis. Damn, that Finals was amazing.
