SIU looked great with a 25-pt win over NDSU, who won @Santa Clara by 8 and lost to ISUr by 9.

In fairness to NDSU, they were without their best big (it sounds like he will be out an extended period with an injury) and had just played two games in California last week before trekking to Carbondale, so tough circumstances.

But, it was a much-needed first DI win for Southern, which has another power conference road game Friday in Gainesville before matching up with a tough La Tech team (4-0) to open the Gulf Coast Showcase. It's turning into a very challenging non-con slate for the Dawgs with teams like Charleston, La Tech and High Point looking like possible NCAA teams to go with the Oklahoma State and Florida road games.

If the schedule positions SIU to win the Valley, then I'm all for it. Gone are the days that the at-large schedule will get you to the tourney, so find the challenging games to win the league.

Evansville... poor Evansville :cry:

3-1 night with double digit wins over Oral Roberts and UTA.

MVC is 10-2 vs D1 teams since Drakey declared the league might not finish top-20.

UNI did what you do in a buy game. Beat WIU 82-56.

Big night from Trey Campbell.

Look out for freshman big Will Hornseth. Looked really good at Wichita last week and was dynamite tonight. Skilled, skilled kid. Sky's the limit for him.

I want them to be good SO BAD. They just have some of the worst luck.

And Marty Simmons just nearly knocked off Northwestern and DePaul in back-to-back games. He’s improved EIU each year.

I’m not sure Eastern Illinois cracks a list of top-350 jobs.

Although Ragland could take the Simmons’ trajectory at UE.

Ragland | Simmons
5-27 | 9-21
17-18 | 17-14
—— | 9-21

Evansville then won at a .556 clip over Simmons’ next 8 years.

Missouri State beat a talented UT-Arlington team last night by 10, though it was a really competitive game up until the last 5 minutes or so.

UTA had some really quick guards including Darius Burford, former Redbird, who looked to be about the most talented player on the floor at times.

Cuonzo has the ragtag collection of players overachieving. They play hard, and compared to Dana Ford teams they're running some really good schemes on both offense and defense.

Interesting matchup on Sunday in the MTE against a really good mid major team in High Point.
