So, do we want Missouri State to win and take sole possession of 4th place in the Valley?

IMO Yes, and then we beat UNI at our place when they come here.

First, we need to win on the road at E'ville, actually, let's just go ahead and win 'em all to be safe

Another great game caps off the day. Personally I think Northern got ripped off on that foul steal with potential breakaway with 30 seconds left. That would of tied it up giving MO state the ball with about 20 seconds left. Looked like a clean steal to me, little body on it but have to credit his quickness. Well Northerns only hope is taking the MVC tourney now. Next 3 games on the road against Creighton, Nevada and us including already losing 6 of there last 7 games. 8-11 is a likely ending conference record for them. Quite a shocking turnaround for them considering just a few weeks ago, they were 3rd or 4th in the "other" votes for top 25 ranking. I was kind of rooting for Northern because MO state can afford to go 2-2 now giving BU 4th place if they keep winning. Oh well, we'll see what happens. Another hot shooting game for BU at Evansville and i'll have some high hopes for them going into the big VCU matchup.

After the player losses from last year and all the experts preseason predictions 4th is ok with me too.
