It's looking more like UNI and ISU red will be in the thick of the race. 10-8 might win this conference the way things are going! I do think WSU will win 12 games though as they are the first team to break the 10 win mark.

I didn't think this about a week or two ago, but boy does the Valley stink this year!

Current standings- Bradley now in a tie for 7th- Note that the tiebreaker for teams that are tied and when neither team has the head-to-head advantage is now the non-conference RPI. And Bradley's non-conference RPI is about 340, easily the worst in the MVC. We lose all tiebreakers. We need to beat Missouri State in Springfield to stay ahead of them.

UNI will share the title at 12-6 when it's all said and done. Evansville has at most 1 more win in them, and they may lose out.

If that's the case, Bradley better sweep ISU blue and CU at home, and split on the road.

We need to beat ISU Blue and 2 of the other 3. Both those road games are very winnable. If UE does lose out, then we only need 2 wins total most likely, because I think MSU and DU win no more than 7 total.

I don't think @Drake will be easy, and I especially don't think @MSU will be easy.

[Tulsa Brave]

I don't think @Drake will be easy, and I especially don't think @MSU will be easy.

None of the 4 remaining MVC games will be easy. But all 4 are much more winnable than tonight ever was.

[Da Coach]

Both teams we have yet to play on the road (Drake, MSU) have played very well at home in the last month, and neither will be easy for Bradley to pull off. After Bradley won at SIU in the first game of the year, I predicted that would be the only road game we'd win all year. I hope I was wrong, but I still think it will be.
Missouri State has won their last 3 home games, and they are 5-2 at home in the MVC with the only 2 losses coming to Creighton and Wichita State.
Drake has won 3 of their last 4 home games with the one loss being to ISU, and wins over Evansville, Indiana State, and Creighton.
