MVC Games Week 2

[SalukiWorld]

UIC is gonna get a nice win over Jacksonville State

ISU win over Northwestern st looks better since they just won at #15 TCU. In a weird twist, Thursday ISU gets a second shot at them.

Should be a good game, Belmont is favored by 3. They used to do a home/home every year but guessing this is just one game a year and alternating sites from now on?

The popularity of the games has waned in recent years so I think they went to a single game per year. With professional sports building up in Nashville and the wins became a little lopsided in Belmont's favor, the attendance dropped off somewhat.

Found this website which documents the history of the rivalry. Crazy that Belmont/David Lipscomb drew an NAIA-record 15k attendance.

The rivalry was amazing back in the day. Maybe Lipscomb winning last night might help improve the interest. Free throws killed us once again last night. Free throws are a mental thing when good shooters can't hit them.

Nice win from Bradley. Winning by this much is always a nice NET booster.

That Eastern Michigan team was horrific tonight. Didn't give two craps about defense. Or much else.

But Bradley still dominated them and did what it needed to do to blow them out. Malevy Leons can be so, so good when he is assertive offensively like he was tonight. Zek Montgomery is getting better and better. As is Darius Hannah.

Just a nice win against a team that you should beat but has some real talent and an NBA potential guy in Emoni Bates.

Bradley's defense was just swarming tonight. Hands in passing lanes all night. Great help side defense on any drives to the basket as well as great help on over the top lobs.

Combine that with EMU not wanting to play any defense and you see the result. Great win to get back on track for Bradley tonight.

Bears on the road at BYU tonight. Always a tough environment to visit

[Kyle_Saluki_17]

Chicago State, who only beat IUPUI by 10, is whipping Valpo right now by 20 in the first half.

[SalukiWorld]

Valpo is really down 25 to Chicago State?
