Another upset in the MVC-
Indiana State beat Evansville 79-75 in overtime in Terre Haute.

This is really hurting my Pick Em percentage

Evansville has a few scorers but they clearly are not deep -
four of their starters had to play nearly 40 minutes and more - one (Mockevicius) played a lot of minutes with foul trouble and ultimately fouled out in OT

UNI beat Loyola so now only ISU, SIU, & Drake are winless in the MVC, while Missouri State & Indiana State are both 2-0 - Bradley currently tied for 4th at 1-1

ISU hanging close to Wichita...
40-37 with 13 min to go in Wichita



Here's one result that's maybe a bit surprising...

UCLA was in the Top 25 rankings earlier in the season..
they were picked to finish in the Top four of the Pac-12

But today they got absolutely killed by Utah 71-39 - and now they've lost FIVE in a row & 7 of the last 11...

ISU hung close but Wichita never gave up the lead..

here's how the standings look

TEAM CONF OVERALL
Wichita St 2-0 12-2
Missouri St 2-0 8-6
Indiana St 2-0 6-8
Bradley 1-1 6-9
No. Iowa 1-1 12-2
Loyola (IL) 1-1 11-3
Evansville 1-1 11-3
So. Illinois 0-2 7-8
Drake 0-2 3-11
Illinois St 0-2 8-6

ISU plays Drake next - good chance to pick up a win
we play Wichita - so I don't think we're gonna stay tied for 4th very long..
