Current standings

Looking like the top half and the lower half of the Valley are getting more established. ISU Blue goes to Springfield and beats Missouri State 78-68. UNI had a ho hum 80-68 win at Evansville. SIU is winning at Drake 57-46 with 12:00 left in the game.

I would disagree. Maybe the bottom two are established, but the other 8 spots are wide open.

Probably is a little bit early Patrick to proclaim, especially since there's 8 games left in the Valley season, what I did but I just have a feeling there's a clear bottom 4, (ISU Red, Evansville, Missouri State and Valpo). The Redbirds and Evansville are clearly the bottom 2. Valpo has only won more than 1 game in a row once and Missouri State just doesn't look like a team that is playing with any confidence. ISU Blue and Drake are normally really tough to beat at home and I think they are just better than Valpo and MSU. They might be overachieving but SIU is playing really well. UNI and Loyola are who we thought they were and once Eli comes back we'll be right there as well. But again we'll see what happens. MSU still has enough time to put it together and live up to their pre season ranking.

I don’t think we have to crown their asses just yet however.
