Wouldn't go that far. UNI has a pretty favorable schedule down the stretch. Tough teams at home (Loyola, Valpo), road games at Indiana State and Evansville. The game at Missouri State is a bear (pun intended) but their new style plays right into what UNI does.


You are right, but we lose, like every tiebreaker and have to play three of five on the road. We have not done well on the road the last couple years regardless of opponent. Sweep to SIU really hurts. I'd give Bradley the edge, but I wouldn't call it a lock. Valpo now in the muck as well.

I think Indiana State and Evansville are solidly Thursday teams... Valpo, Bradley, UNI and SIU are the ones fighting to avoid it right now... Honestly, I do not have faith in any of those teams. Lets say Bradley beats ISUR this weekend, now they are in the play in picture too... The whole league is a mediocre mess.

Disappointing start to mvc play thats for sure. Now were the hottest team. Wardles teams seem to get better as the season goes. Thats a sign of a great coach. Go sweep Dan and the struggling birds. What a crazy year in the MVC.


Bradley is the hottest team? Really? :huh:


You're still wrong. Damn this feels good again

Would anyone rather play MSU than BU?
NOT dissing BU. They've been amazing.

Im impressed , never thought the Bears got this one today. The 3 hottest teams in the MVC are Bradley, Drake and Sugar Bears . Obviously im going to vote BU.

You know who I would love to play if I was one of the other nine teams, Illinois State. Things aren't good in Normal....

Simply from a matchup and style perspective, MSU is a much better matchup for UNI than Bradley is right now. A slow down efficiency game plays right into how UNI has played for a long time.

That said, I like the Bears by 8 or so on Wednesday night.

The Bears are definitely playing very well therefor Arch Madness will be very interesting.
Unfortunately my Aces will probably be a one and done.
So I might go watch the O.V.C Tournament in Evansville.

Bears, Braves and Drake are the only teams with trusting/confident fanbases right now. Any other fanbase doesnt seem to think their team can win 3 (or 4) games in 3 (or 4) days away from home.

Will be interesting to see the confidence levels for all fan bases in 2 weeks.
