Question. If the Valpo games are not made up how will that work into the standings? Bradley will have less wins than some of the others unless they award forfeits to Bradley for the Valpo games

In the scenario where not everyone plays the same number of games, I have to think they would do the standings by winning percentage. I doubt they do a forfeit. No other sports have had forfeits due to COVID. Games were either rescheduled or just cancelled all together.

In tonight's games, Loyola beat Illinois State again, and Drake beat Indiana State again, while Northern Iowa and Evansville bounce back with wins after losing yesterday-

For Evansville, it is their first MVC conference win since the 2018-19 season. They were 0-18 last season, but now 1-1 this season.

Drake still unbeaten at 11-0 as they beat ISU Blue 73-66. The Sycamores led 29-25 at the half and were down just 59-58 with 2:37 left but Drake made 12 of 16FT's to close it out. They are one of 23 teams who have played a game that is still undefeated. Both SIU and Missouri State lost their first games of the season. SIU lost to Evansville 84-72 as the Purple Aces made a school record 17 3 pointers. The Salukis led 39-35 at the half but Evansville made 10-14 from 3 to win it. Missouri State lost to UNI 85-75. The Panthers scored the first 16 points of the game and never looked back. UNI led by as much as 25 in the first half and led 41-28 at the half. The Bears got it as close as 45-40 early in the 2nd half but could get no closer. Loyola had no trouble again against ISU Red winning 86-55. Drake's unbeaten record will be tested the next 3 weekends as they play at home against SIU and Loyola and at Missouri State.
