2018 MVC - Week 7

[MissouriValleyUnite]

A senioritis spiral and cryotherapy curse have the preseason top 2 staring Thursday night right in the face. Meanwhile, the Valley's Wheel of Unpredictability has left General Custer largely unscathed as Bo Rambler heads the driver's seat while Barry's boys downstate breathe down their necks with half their hands (err, roster) tied behind their back.

I would like to point out that the first tiebreaker for the MVC tournament is RPI rating. Illinois State has a better RPI than both Bradley and Drake as of today so ISUr is currently slated as 3 seed.

This is incorrect. The first tiebreaker is head to head and so Drake would be the 3 seed as of now since they are 3-0 against the other two.

RPI is the second tiebreaker...oops. Drake 3, ISUr 4, Bradley 5.

By the end of this week we may see some separation. If SIU wins both games they will take a solid lead for 2nd, and Drake may have righted their ship a little. 2/3 of the way through. Last 6 will be fun, but the real fun will begin on March 1st!
