So - Just Who IS Going to win the Valley?

Hey-- I agree...they are doing OK and have a good shot at winning the Valley.
They have a shallow bench as many MVC teams do and have yet to be tested by tought competition, so those two factors could come into play as they hit a the tougher Valley schedule and if the possibly face some injuries.

I haven't watched Creighton yet this season, but Evansville is the best Valley team that I have seen. (Side note: I went to an Indiana State game about a week ago at Hulman Center and that might be the worst Valley team ever)

I think the jury is still out on Evansville.
They are playing better than some expected, but they have yet to win away from home, and have played little more than a platter of cupcakes on their home schedule.
They have only two wins (both at home) against teams who are .500 or better.
(Bradley has three with one away from home)

So I still don't know if I am willing to put them in the upper half of the Valley any more than some were putting Indiana State there in 2005-2006 (at this point in the season) when the Sycamores were 8-0.

(they lost their next 11 and ended up having a dismal year that hurried on the departure of Royce Waltman)
