MVC openers thread - Let's get ready to rumble!!!

[BirdsEyeView]

The game 1 line-ups look like a seeded tournament: the #1 team is home against the #10 team, the #2 team is home against the #9 team and right down the line. I don't think it is much of a stretch to rank the teams in the following order:

UNI
WSU
UE
ISUr
LUC
SIU
MSU
ISUb
Drake
BU

SIU has the best chance to win on the road.

That's funny!

My picks:
Aces
Birds
Panthers
SIU
Shox

Indiana State

Illinois State

Is it safe to say you don't gamble much?

I said it back in November, ISUb would have a bad non conference and ruin the Valley by beating the top teams. But, I don't think it starts tonight. ISUb-69 UE-77

Indiana State

Illinois State

UNI

Loyola

Drake

It was a hard pick but I think the Sycamores will pull it off.

My schizophrenic Bears are surprisingly up 19 to 8 on the Redbirds 13 min in.

Watching the ISUb coach going against Marty is like watching John Wooden coach against a middle school coach. Aces totally look lifeless and under prepared against the Sycamores.

Halftime update:

ISUb 36
UE 28

MSU 27
ISUr 25

SIU 34
LIC 30

BU 28
UNI 46
