MVC Games Week 16

[sivert]

Anyone else wake up extremely excited to watch basketball tonight? Tonight's lineup feels like a nice March appetizer (hors d'oeuvre for our Loyola friends on the Atlantic coast). Obviously I'll be watching my guys in the Region but might have to have some fast fingers on the remote.

Thanks but I prefer an aperitivo

Have both!

Very funny

Consider the source. I am pretty sure this is the same UNI blowhard that tried to throw some barbs at Marcus Wilson on twitter, until Marcus just laid him out. If not, they have an abnormally high amount of clowns for such a small fanbase.

Womens Golf are defending league champions, volleyball made the postseason, and has nearly all returning. The softball team is 6-1 I believe so far. The womens basketball team finally made a move with the coaching staff, which appears to already be paying off. Millions have been invested across the board in facilities in the last decade, I would venture to say much more than what has been spent at your blueblood of the MVC in Frostbite Falls.

You're not going to find a UE fan that doesn't agree with you that the basketball program is a crapshow, and is certainly at a level that is unacceptable. You're also not going to find too many that don't agree with you that our AD must go. Absolutely none of us disagree. Where you lose your credibility is when you spout off crap like everyone can contribute except UE. What inherent advantage does UNI have over us, that we can't overcome?

Besides the facility upgrades, we spend in the upper half in men's basketball. Our attendance is near the top every year, which is remarkable considering what we are paying to watch. Even if you take out the rent we spend on the Ford, we are still well into the upper half, and almost double what Indiana State spends, yet you claim we are the only ones that have no chance.

I will take our resources, fan base and facilities over most anyone in the league. That is the hard part, getting competent people should be easier to achieve. We have had it before, and that is the only thing you or anyone else in this league has on us.

I know Marcus Wilson. Not impressed. He doesnt treat people well.

I have it on good authority that the REAL reason Loyola prefers the A10 is its gentlemanly club life. I’ve seen many a scarved fan in STL drop his monacle in a champagne flute at the rowdiness of the beer and nacho crowd. Hors d’eurves and apertivos are delivered by butlers at the A10 tournament with the raise of a pinkie.

I don't blame them. Last time I was at Capital One Arena, I saw homeless people having a three-way in an alley. You can't beat the kind of ambiance you find in ChinaTown.

Though Barclays in Brooklyn is the balls. That place is amazing. The JerryWorld of arenas.

The only 3 ways you’ll find at Barclays are the martinis with anchovy stuffed olives!

How in the HELL has Missouri State lost five league games with this roster?

[SalukiWorld]

Evansville might break some kind of futility record tonight

I'll give you two guesses.....

The up and down nature of the Bears season has been really puzzling to me too. They definitely had an at large caliber team this year but it took awhile for it to come together. Fortunately it's been more up than down. Do you think the MVC still has a shot at two bids if Loyola makes it to the final at Arch Madness and loses? Selfishly I am hoping Loyola and Missouri State are the two teams that make it because I think they are the most talented and most capable of winning in March.

Good grief, Evansville… Our expectations were low but holy sh!t.
