New MVC Blog

Postby MVCBeat » November 27th, 2020, 5:32 pm

Hello Valley Fans,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I started a new blog that will be focused on MVC Basketball and MVFC Football. I am a longtime Valley fan who is a veteran of 17 Arch Madnesses. I have been making MVC writeups for my friends for years and consider myself a pretty good writer, so I figured why not post my write-ups publicly for other MVC fans to read if they'd like? I intend to post a couple times a week. Sometimes I'll comment on the current league goings-on, sometimes I'll talk about the mid-major/NCAA scene overall, and sometimes I'll post about MVC history.

I launched yesterday with five articles. I have my 2020-21 MVC Preview broken into three parts (my UNI prediction is not looking very good at the moment), a piece detailing how I'd handle the NCAA Tournament during the pandemic, and a piece listing each MVC school's greatest basketball team of the 21st century. I think it is pretty good sampling of the things I intend to do moving forward.

Excellent writeups. Reading about the Loyola-Valpo QF, looking forward to whenever you rankdown the greatest Arch Madness games. Hard to imagine anything ever topping the drama of ‘09 WSU/CU.

Two new blog posts today.

One runs down the action in week one and updates the power rankings.

The other ranks the top 30 returning players in this year's MVC.

Check it out here: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com

Thanks!

Thank you for reading. That one was certainly memorable and will likely be on the list (although I'll probably lean more toward the current MVC teams). Have a good one.

Two new writeups today. One is the power rankings and summary from week two. The other ranks all the DI conferences by strength (via RPI over the last 7 years). I've also written MVC preview articles, an article highlighting each school's best team of the 21st century, and an article ranking the top 30 players in the MVC this year.

I've also added an "MVC Resources" page compiling all the MVC fan sites, blogs and podcasts I could find. If you have any I should add, let me know.

Hello Valley fans,

There are two new posts on the blog.

-Week 3 MVC Power Rankings, Summery and Mid Major Tid-Bits: A decent amount of movement this week.

-Recapping Every Arch Madness Championship Game: Starting with the first St. Louis based MVC Tournament final in 1991, through last season, I recap every Arch Madness final as well as give a short summary of how the MVC did in the postseason that year.

You can also check out my other, older posts including my MVC Season Preview, Every MVC School's Best Team of the 21st Century, The MVC's Top 30 Returning Players, and Every DI Conference Ranked. I also have a page with links to every MVC message board, blog, and podcast that I know of. Let me know if I am missing anything.

Hello Valley Fans,

I have two new blog posts this week. The first ranks the MVC coaches. The second is the week four summary, power rankings, and mid-major bits. Was very tough to rank the top four this week.

There is lots of other Valley content there as well if you haven't taken a look yet. Next week I am starting a two-part series where I simulate an MVC season (via whatifsports) using each team's best team of the 21st century from my earlier article. Should be fun.

Check it out at https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/ . Have a great holiday all!

There's no way Moser should be ahead of Wardle, even with the Final Four and Muller should probably be lower at this point

"even with the Final Four..." and multiple regular season championships, top recruiting classes, sustained success, etc.

Wardle is a hell of a coach and Bradley is trending up, but at this point, Moser is ahead of him.
