Anyone else see the end of the Valpo-Loyola game? Valparaiso overcame a 14 point deficit in the 2nd half to get within 1 point inside the final minute. Loyola's Cameron Krutwig made 1 of 2 free throws to make the score 70-68. Valpo rebounded and had 11 seconds to try to tie or win, but Javon Freeman-Liberty fumbled the ball and it was knocked into the backcourt and time ran out. Loyola wins 70-68-

I tried to tune in to the 2nd half on ESPN+ but it wouldn’t let me watch.
Too bad Valpo couldn’t pull it out!

Current standings

Bradley's final 6 MVC games are:
Home vs. Indiana State
Road at SIU
Home vs. Missouri State
Road at Illinois State
Road at Valparaiso
Home vs. Loyola

2 of the 3 home games are against teams even or tied with us (Indiana State & Missouri State), and the other is the final home game vs. Loyola.
The 3 road games are against teams we have already beaten by double digits (SIU, ILSU, and Valpo).
Among the top remaining teams in contention for the top half of the MVC, it appears Bradley may have one of the easier remaining schedules, though none of them will be easy as we saw today.
With Eli back, if Darrell Brown stays in his usual form, and everyone else stays healthy I think it's a good possibility Bradley could win 4 or 5 of them. Bradley is now 16-9, 7-5 in the MVC. If BU goes 4-2, that would be 20 wins going into the tournament.
I'd like to see Bradley go on a run and finish the last third of the MVC season 6-0 or at least 5-1.
