Saturday, February 21, 2026 Men's Basketball
 
In the first game of the day, Valparaiso leads UIC 31-29 at halftime -

JT Pettigrew leads Valpo with 11 points.
UIC's top 2 scorers- Ahmad Henderson (12.4 ppg) and Elijah Crawford (12.0 ppg) each have just 2 points.
Crawford, who has been starting, did not start this game.
 
Evansville is playing at Murray State and have jumped out to a 24-10 lead! - and without their best player
(but then, it is Evansville and they will still prob blow it)


UIC on Senior Day started three little used, low scoring deep bench seniors and dug a big hole for themselves vs Valpo.
Now with under 10 min to go, they still trail by four.


update- UIC down by 10 with 3 minutes to go
and get this... there's a remarkably large Valpo contingent of fans at UIC behind the Valpo bench -
In fact, the Valpo contingent looks bigger than the UIC crowd

Final Valpo 71- UIC 67
Thank you Coach Powell!! .
 
Valparaiso took an early 8-0 lead at UIC, and never trailed after that. They lead by as much as 13, and had a 10 point lead with under 3 minutes left in the game. But then UIC scored 8 straight to make it a 2-point game with about 30 seconds left. After a flurry of fouls, Valpo finally put the game away with free throws.
Final score: Valparaiso 71 UIC 67

Sader Servilus, who averages 2.0 ppg, was the leading scorer for Valpo with 13. They have won 5 of their last 6 games to improve to 16-13 and 10-8 in the MVC.
UIC drops to 16-13, 11-7 and falls out of a tie for 2nd place with Bradley for the time being. They had won 3 in a row, and 11 of their last 13 until today.

MVC Standings- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/standings/_/group/18

Final score: Murray State 88 Evansville 73

Murray State improves to 20-10, 12-7. Evansville drops to 6-22, 2-15.
 
I know it's not MVC but
CONGRATS to Illinois Wesleyan Men's Basketball - winning last night over Augustana to win outright CCIW championship.
IWU has a couple players Bradley recruited early on and one that Bradley even offered - Noah Cleveland
