Only possibilities I see are Oakland over Robert Morris and possibly Detroit over Northeastern, although NU is 6-1 and has beaten ranked Miami (Fla).  The rest --good luck.

Oakland put in a good 2nd half and beat a 1-7 Robert Morris.  Detroit beat a 6-1 Northeastern that should help rpi.

We play Missouri St. and they just beat Okie St. today.  Missouri St. is at the bottom of the MVC.

Holy ___fill in the blank____!!!!!

Good for us -- I guess.  Now we need to beat them too, right? Otherwise.....   ?

BTW, remember all the hand-wringing and frustration this summer when we had no clue what the schedule would be?  It would seem at this point on 12/5 that we have struck a vein of high grade ore -- is that even a valid metaphor?

Bradley is at the bottom.

MoState has lost to Butler, Minnesota, MissSt and Utah State. They've played a tough schedule compared to the team at the top of the MVC in SoIllini who haven't played much of anyone.

I wouldn't put that victory for Valpo in our back pockets just yet.

But when we play them in the ARC on 12/19 at 1:30pm, we have Jim Cornelison doing the anthem... AND it's KIDS day, all of the kids get a free "Crusader in Training" T-shirt.... that ought to pack 'em in!

Kind of hard dealing without a weekend MBB game to chat about.
