Wasn't the Creighton - SDSU game from Wed night the first of the games in the challenge?

[Da Coach]

Yes, I think you're right.

I'm betting on a 5-5 record for the Valley for weekend game, but my hope is that we get at least 6 to do any good for the conference RPI.

Important for all teams, but I think we may be able to weed out who in the Valley will have a legit shot to get At-Large consideration in March, provided those teams finish Top 3.

VERY important for UNI, WSU, Indy St. to pick up a W.
Maybe not so critical for CU, but they should win anyways.
MSU and Evansville I can't see as being in At-Large discussion no matter what happens this weekend - mainly based on their personnel.

UNI wins - just maybe the MVC can go for a sweep??
Anthony James for 28 pts
