Friday evening MVC games

[bigjimmy]

Valpo leads Evansville 31-25 at the half. Valpo was 14-30, 0-7 from 3 while the Purple Aces were just 9-28, 2-12 from 3. Kinda of a ho hum game so far which I think is to Evansville’s benefit.

[bigjimmy]

Evansville just hanging around down 39-36 with 13:05 left. Valpo just not playing with any sense of urgency

[Da Coach]

Evansville takes a 40-39 lead with 11:38 left.

[bigjimmy]

11:38 left and da Purple Aces lead Valpo 40-39. Their 2 closest games this season were by 2 points to Valpo so they have some confidence against them

[bigjimmy]

7:01 left and Valpo leads 47-46. Valpo’s intensity has definitely picked up during the last few minutes but Evansville is hanging in there

[bigjimmy]

2:52 left and Valpo leads 53-50. Da Purple Aces not going away but can they finally get over the hump against a Mo Valley team

[bigjimmy]

Only 9 fouls called in the second half. Hope these refs aren’t doing our game

[bigjimmy]

48.9 Valpo leads 53-52, Valpo ball. KJ Riley made a layup and got fouled but missed the FT that would have tied it up

[bigjimmy]

4.4 left Valpo leads by 3, Evansville ball underneath Valpo basket

[bigjimmy]

Valpo wins

[Da Coach]

What a fantastic ending to an otherwise slightly dull, low-scoring game.
Valpo hangs on to beat Evansville 58-55-

Valparaiso wins despite going 0-10 from three for the game, and Javon Freeman-Liberty with only 8 points fails to score in double figures for the first time all season.

Evansville has a lot of talent for a team that winless in conference. I can’t help but wonder what they would have done with better off court/coaching stability. Feel a little bad for their players.

We're getting ready to head to St Louis to watch Bradley's three wins!! I was finally able to set a recording for the Missouri State game on Comcast channel 959. I never found the other evening game.

Correct. For the record, Comcast Xfinity channel 959 is FoxSports Midwest HD. The Friday night session games are not on NBCSports or NBCSports Plus because of Blackhawks and Bulls games, and the FoxSports Midwest channel is also carrying a St. Louis Blues hockey game, so it won't have the MVC games. The MVC needs to make arrangements for this contingency, because there are frequently hockey games on the MVC Tournament weekends that pre-empt the MVC Tournament games. So Bradley fans should be able to watch the afternoon games on NBCSports Chicago or FoxSports Midwest. But I can't find that any channel will carry the Friday night games. If anyone can find that out, let us know.

Drake vs ISU Blue about to get underway for the 30th Arch Madness. By the way we have great seats.

I am confused by some match-ups this year.
I thought Drake was playing ISU Redbirds in Gm 1.
