MVC Games 11/18-11/24

BU beat a good Radford team last night. They return their top players from last year, including preseason Big South Player of the Year--and they're picked to win the Big South. Got a little sketchy in the last 10 minutes but BU led for 37 minutes (by as much as 17) and took care of business after Radford stomped Northwestern. Speaking of whom, NW is up next for BU.

For what it’s worth I’d be SHOCKED if Bradley lost to Northwestern. They also lost to DI transitioning Merrimack and played Norfolk fairly close. They’ve been painful to watch at times

Northwestern has *double digit* losses to Merrimack (hockey school stumbling into D1 hoops) and Radford (good Big South team).

Take them behind the shed like Northern Iowa did a few years back.

Northwestern did beat a #19 KenPom Providence team and are ranked higher in KP than Bradley, so it would be far from a Coppin State level loss.

“Hey, we got 4 guys shooting 55% (28/51) on the court for the final shot!”

“Nah, go to Option E shooting 25% with 40% of the team’s turnovers”

Indiana State picked up a 2nd straight win today in the Bahamas, defeating a very good Air Force squad 84-74, that's 2 straight wins for ISU by 10 points or more

Tyreke Key with 26 points for ISU.

Sick dig? I wasn't trash talking Bradley... if anything I was saying their significantly better than a P5 team but cool! Also in fairness Kenpom is great also doesn't really matter until midway through the season... look no further than Providence losing to UPenn yesterday.

That said any win vs a P5 team is great for the conference. I'm just saying I've watched NU play in person and it is ROUGH in Evanston right now.

I know a troll when I see one!

Bradley can hang with anyone in the conference but can also look downright lost at times. They looked shaky against UIC and Norfolk State but managed to hang on. They had a great Radford win and I'm hoping they can build from that. But I would not be shocked if they lost to a big 10 team from what I've seen...even if it is Northwestern.

And if we can't dig at each others' bad losses, then what's the point of a conference message board? I'm rooting for Loyola, just like every MVC team in non-con.
