I know this is a put-em-in-a-bag and shake em up year for the Valley, but these 2 MVC go rounds are going to be especially tough to pick...here goes:
Tue-
Bears > BU...MSU needs this roadie in Peoria if they want to stay within striking distance of the top
Wed-
Bulldogs > LUC...Battle for the top as DU can ill afford a home L, and they take out the white-hot Ramblers
Panthers > ISU...2 completely underachieving teams, the question is...who is worse?
Sycamores > SIU...ISU seems to be putting it together a bit (really like the Scott/Barnes guard combo)
Crusaders > UE...think this one's a total toss-up, but going with VU to protect home
Saturday-
Aces > DU...and just like that a shot heard round the entire Valley as UE pulls off a big upset
Bears > SIU...good week for MSU and not so good for the Salukis
Redbirds > VU....ISU bounces back at home and ends the crusade with a W
Sunday-
Sycamores > BU....could ISU end up in a 4 way tie for the top with this win?
Ramblers > UNI...might be a beatdown by LUC as the Panthers continue to struggle away from home
Honestly, I could see 8 out of 10 of these MVC tilts as anybody's game which should make for a terrific scoreboard watch all across the hoops crazy Valley...YES! Know I'll be catching as much MVC action as I can on ESPN3
ROCK IT MVC!
