Second half of League play begins: MVC Game 10

by **Old School MVC** » January 27th, 2017, 11:08 am

Saturday
UNI @ Drake
Loyola @ ISUb
MSU @ SIU

Sunday
Wichita St @ Bradley
ISUr @ Evansville

Old School Projections:

Drake by 5 over the Panthers. Drake is playing with confidence. Who would have believed they would be tied for 3rd at this point?

Sycs pull upset over Loyola by 2. I foresee an ISUb run coming on.

MSU by 10 over SIU. Right when you lose trust in Lusk and the boys, they will come back and offer hope only to shatter that dream in the next 2 or 3 games.

Wichita buries Bradley and will win by as much as Marshall wants to win by!

Evansville upsets the Redbirds in a 5 pt win. ISUr is starting to look like their 2015-2016 edition. Their undefeated conference dream will come to an end against the unexpected opponent.

But, what are the spread predictions? Here are mine:

UNI @ Drake Drake -2
Loyola @ ISUb Loyola - 1
MSU @ SIU MSU - 3

Sunday
Wichita St @ Bradley WSU - 15
ISUr @ Evansville ISUr - 10

Saturday

UNI @ Drake
Drake by 2. They're playing better and playing at home. UNI is meh this year. Give me the bulldogs and hopefully a coaching contract.

Loyola @ ISUb
Indiana State played well at ISU. Loyola struggles on the road. Give me the Sycamores by 6.

MSU @ SIU
I think the reinstated Southern boys come ready to play. Look for the team to rally here and win by 4.

Sunday

Wichita St @ Bradley
Wichita by 40. Wichita needs to get these D-2 schools off of their schedule.

ISUr @ Evansville
Well since this is Evansville's Super Bowl... lol just kidding... I think ISU is ready to right the ship and the Aces are pretty easily contained this year. Birds by 7 on the road.

UNI @ Drake
Two teams that think that they have turned things around. I don't think either is good, but neither is an easy out. Coin Flip game, but I will go Drake by 5.

Loyola @ ISUb
Loyola by 10, I think they are just plain the better team. I also think that after Indiana State had Illinois State on the ropes, that they will have a let down.

MSU @ SIU
Dawgs by 6, Saturday night in Cabondale will be good to the Salukis. I think Barry gets the right amount of effort out of his boys and they get it done. Truthfully, if they lose this one, could take this season into a tailspin...

Sunday

Wichita St @ Bradley
Wichita by 19, I think Bradley makes this tough on them for a while, but Wichita outlasts them in the end.

ISUr @ Evansville
Birds by 18, Dirty Dan will get them back on track this weekend, with a comfortable win.

I'll take...
Bulldogs - Big game with Thursday night implications
Sycamores - Big game with Thursday night implications
Salukis - Big game with Thursday night implications
Shockers - Big game with Thursday night implications
Redbirds - Big game with Thursday night implications

Actual Vegas lines:
Drake and UNI open up as a pick'em.
Loyola opens up at -2.
SIU opens up at -1.

Not bad except for the MSU/SIU line. Maybe you still thought the two SIU players were suspended.

I did think they were still suspended....that was fast!

UNI vs Drake has been pretty entertaining so far.

Quite the barnburner at the half, UNI up 25-22.

Can't believe that 3 by Timmer wasn't called a foul.
