ugly stuff going on in Chicago today, congrats Ramblers on getting your first MVC win! Bad loss for MSU though, sigh.....

Pitiful effort by the Bears.

One would think that it would be beneficial for the conference long term if Loyola were integrated into the conference quickly, rather than being shunned and scoffed at... But whatevahhhh... Wouldn't want to cut in to the possible sources of bellyaching and complaints, would we?

Lusk will commit seppuku at the postgame conference if he has an ounce of honor.

finally getting a chance to gloat huh? Impressive win today but Loyola is far from proving they are a good addition to this conference.

We'd all be happily pulling for you on occasion if Loyola had not shat the bed with a 300+ RPI in the OOC. It is terrible for the conference when teams like this come in and snipe 6-9 wins in the MVC, dragging down their opponents RPI like the Titanic's undertow.

This. Win in the OOC and we will pull for you to win every MVC game not played against our team. Whether it is Drake, MSU, or LUC is inconsequential to the other teams. Everyone pulls for the winners to separate.

Congrats on your first MVC win and good luck the rest of the way!

Sure would be, if only your RPI wasn't above 300 on account of that murderer's row of a non-con schedule LU put together.

But, if anyone deserve this, it was Missouri State.

Bears look awful--seen better high school teams. Can't pass the ball (throw it away), can't catch the ball (fumble fingers), can't dribble the ball (bounce it off the toe or kick the ball), evidently can't shoot the ball: 2s, 3s, or lay ups. Bears announcer said they were running a motion offense--all I saw was 4 guys standing around and the fifth standing and holding or dribbling the ball. Send Lusk to KC, KS and I will take him to see any of several KC, KS high school teams so he can see motion. Don't know why SMS/MSU have never recruited in the KC area.

From the number of maroon jerseys in the stands (I hesitate to call it a crowd) it appears there were more Bear than LUC fans at the game.

Did see the WSU/UNI game earlier in the afternoon- Not impressed by either team in the first half. WSU looked better in the second half. But, did not see a final four team,--probably not an elite 8, at best perhaps a sweet 16, I said perhaps!! Think there is a very good chance some one, or two, will sneak up on WSU--may even happen in the MVC tourney.

Yikes....maybe I should change my conference champion pick. This is a beating of epic proportion.
