Quote from: VULB#62 on January 25, 2024, 09:56:14 AMJust speculation here, but maybe our current administration is considering a move to MVFC and buy games with ND or Purdue in our future??$!?
One bodybag/buy game is OK for the experience and the cash flow. Two (especially both in the MvFC) is really tough on the record, the players and the psyche. But it is one more paycheck, I guess. We did this in 2022 with ISUr and then added New Mexico State as a bonus at the end, but that was not two FCS schollies in a row. Then you add in both IWU and a NEC school (schollies as well, but no cash for these) — is any other PFL program as masochistic as this?
But we havethis a few times before, and it is what it is. If Valpo wants football, it's do what ya gotta do.

Quote from: historyman on January 21, 2024, 09:58:21 PMI think we have a chance at home against Belmont and N Iowa. This may be more hope than think we win. Of the next 7, we have a chance in these games, especially at home.Quote from: covufan on January 21, 2024, 07:31:12 PM
We will need a miracle to win 5. With some continued good play we have a chance to win 4. Most likely 2-3 wins.
I'm going with 4-3

I could possibly see us beating Mo St & Evansville but out of Belmont, No Iowa
So Illinois, Drake, & Indiana State which two do you think we'll realistically beat?
Quote from: valpotx on January 20, 2024, 03:31:01 PMYeah, right now feed Weatherspoon!
Why the heck is Cooper passing up wide open 3's to get it to Stafford, when he sees that Stafford is 1/11 today? There is a certain point where you just need to realize that he doesn't have it today, and someone else needs to take that open shot. He was wide open and passed it up...

Refresh my memory. When were we last ahead at the half in an MVC game?

Will probably be fantastic at ValpoWhen a player such as this guy comes in, is he coming in for the spring semester and therefore participating in off season workouts or is this a "fall" guy?
Quote from: valpopal on January 07, 2024, 10:44:43 AMI didn't watch the Bradley game, but looking at box score I was surprised by Schwieger's stat line of 21 minutes, no points and no rebounds. I understand he is a freshman, but this was very different than his first several games. Sepp has really improved since his few games when he didn't play. The ball needs to go through Stafford and Schwieger, who either create, or find open shot opportunities IMHO
In this game I was struck by the contradiction in statistics between VU dominating the rebounds by a margin of 44-33 (15-8 in offensive boards); yet, Valpo's interior guys took very few shots and the team was beaten 38-28 on points in the paint. That is where the game was lost. Schwieger and Sepp each only attempted 4 shots the whole game while playing 58 minutes. I appreciate that DeAveiro has improved his game; however, something is wrong when he takes 13 shots, making only 3, while those higher percentage interior guys combined for only 8 shots (making 6). It is not like the inside shots were being blocked. Valpo actually led in blocked shots by a 7-2 margin.
The same thing happened in the Bradley game. Darius took 12 shots while Schwieger and Sepp combined for only 6 in 54 minutes (Ojiboye took 0 shots in the 13 minutes he subbed for those two), and Valpo lost on points in the paint by a margin of 32-18. Admittedly, Bradley has better interior players than UIC, and Bradley out-rebounded Valpo. However, the unbalance of shot selection needs to be addressed. In these two games, VU has lost on points in the paint by a 70-46 margin!
Quote from: usc4valpo on January 03, 2024, 09:42:36 AMThe way we've played the last seven games we'll be lucky to win two games. If we can get back to the GB to Drake stretch, and improve as the season progresses, we have a chance to be competitive in home games and some on road. As 12th seed, we'd be playing Missouri St, Northern Iowa or Bradley. Play a great game and we could win one in Arch Madness. Very unlikely, though.
David81 - nice, but you are drinking too much brown and gold koolaid. They won't win a game in the MVC tourney.
