Ugly.

The UNI defense was impressive. ODU was frustrated and flustered for most of the game Shooting looked a bit rusty but the addition of a healthy Austin Phyfe is going to be a game changer. The 3 freshmen Noah Carter, Antwan Kimmons and James Betz looked solid in their first meaningful action.

And great job by Valpo taking down a quality team in Toledo and Loyola obliterating a lesser team to show that exhibition game was a fluke. Some of those other scores...disappointing

[goramblers2011]

Two conference favorites lose to two pretty bad teams. Woof. Not the start the MVC needed.

In not sure what to make of MSU at this point? I still think we have plenty of individual talent. But We've really looked horrible these first 2 games. Particularly on defense. Dana has his work cut out for him.

[hot nuts]

My kneejerk reaction... going to be an unpredictable conference. Nice win Valpo.
