[tornado]

Monmouth (0-4) vs. Valparaiso (1-1) in Myrtle Beach at 5:30pm Central
UNI (1-1) vs. Penn in Virgin Is. at 4:30pm Central (Penn listed as 2pt favorite, were picked #2 behind Harvard in preseason Ivy League poll & are 3-0 w/ wins over George Mason (72-71), Rice (92-76), La-Lafayette (91-61))
Grambling State (1-1) at Loyola (2-1) at 7pm Central

SIU plays Arkansas-Pine Bluff tomorrow then Howard on Monday - two very winnable games....
but they will be without two of their starters for the next two games - Armon Fletcher & Eric McGill both out a bit longer with injuries.
They are 0-2 and averaging only 56 points per game with only 40.7% FG accuracy and even worse - 27.6% from the arc

UNI trails Penn 29-27 late in the 1st half

and not an MVC game but ESPN3 currently has Holy Cross (Coach Bill Carmody) vs. Stony Brook (assistant Geno Ford is seen on the bench)..
Holy Cross leads 20-7 early in Myrtle Beach

UNI rallies to take a 39-34 lead at half vs. Penn

very uncharacteristic - UNI has only 2 assists on 24 shot attempts...
their point guard is a shoot first PG.
