MVC Week 6 Discussion Thread

Report out of Peoria is that Elijah Childs will probably play tomorrow against Evansville. He was cleared by doctors and been practicing last couple of days

This is terrific news and could not have come at a better time for Bradley. With ISUb @SIU MSU and @Valpo their next four games after Evansville they'll need him if they want to hold onto a top six spot. This is a critical stretch for all of those teams including the Braves.

I haven't really watched much UNI this year. Does Green always make those shots? If so how do they ever lose?

48.4% from 3 in conf. And he’s rarely left open.

Wow. What a game.
Drake shot 40.9% from 3. Robbins is really tough.

What a battle, Murphy/Robbins vs Green was fun!

Just curious if I’m alone here.... but does anyone else not enjoy watching AJ Green play? He’s pretty ball dominant, and they run a lot of iso pick and rolls with him pulling up from 3/drawing fouls.... his style kinda reminds me of James Harden(which is consistent;I really don’t like watching the rockets).

That said, don’t get me wrong. He is a damn good talent; I’m not knocking the strategy or him as a player one bit, the kids special and it clearly works (as it does with Harden). Just not my favorite to watch as a neutral fan (I’m also sure if he was on my team I’d be losing my mind and loving it... even with what I said some of those contested shots were still sick)

To each his own but I love watching AJ Green play. Except when it's against the Bears. He's just so talented and can make the most difficult shots. He was great today.

Domask... That was stone cold!

SIU fans got a show! Wow!

I think that the MSU team that showed up in Carbondale tonight was the one most people were expecting from day one of the season. Southern could not put them away even with the intimidating crowd.

Dear Lord, thank you for Marcus Domask! The great pass from Ronnie Suggs has to be noted as well and the overall great game of Barrett Benson. Wow......Al Michaels was not in attendance for those of you who may be wondering.

That game was INCREDIBLE! Domask is special! And that crowd was AWESOME! If that's a glimpse of things to come for Missouri State we should be excited for their future as well.

As for that Indiana State Illinois State game. That was absolutely ugly. One of the worst games I've seen in a long time (I alternated between both games on ESPN3). I mean good for the Redbirds for winning that game because someone had to but that game hurt both my eyes and my soul.

As a Valpo fan these results couldn't have gone better. The losses by Drake Indiana State and Missouri State just gave us a clear path to avoiding Thursday especially if we can somehow win one of the next two games (I know It's probably not going to happen). It is imperative that we learn to win on the road if we want to be a top six team though. It's impossible for me to predict these games on a daily basis that's why I just sit back and enjoy and comment once the results are in. This conference is fantastic and the race is intriguing every year! I love the Valley!

MSU is talented and could make a surprise semis run at Arch if they put it all together. They have the defense and length to bother any team in the Valley.

SIU is a few years away but this run has been good to get the fans back.

Domask... That was stone cold!

No doubt. That was senior money...from a freshman.

I've read what Bears fans have said, but it is unfathomable that a team with that kind of talent is in 8th place.

Domask... That was stone cold!

Future is extremely bright for Saluki basketball. Been a long time coming. GO DAWGS!
