4 MVC games Tuesday, Nov. 12

The way MO State is playing I’d hammer Cleveland St. Hope I’m wrong because the Valley needs wins.

That was my first thought. Missouri State is missing a few of their players due to injuries and other issues and they have not been playing real well. They lost at home to Little Rock, and they only beat SWAC member Alabama State by 9 (Alabama State was RPI 307 last year).
But on the other hand Cleveland State has been terrible for the last 4 years and is now in a rebuilding mode under a new coach. So I wouldn't be surprised if they get blown out. They lost at Minnesota by 35.
 
Funny article yesterday from ESPN College Basketball expert Jeff Borzello-
College basketball Power Rankings: Get used to Kentucky at No. 1
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/28052900/get-used-kentucky-no-1

How long will Kentucky stay atop the rankings? The Wildcats don't have any true tests on their schedule until late December, when they face Ohio State in Las Vegas and then host Louisville. So get used to Calipari's Cats at No. 1.

i
1. Kentucky Wildcats (2-0)
Preseason ranking: 3
This week: vs. Evansville (Tuesday)
 
In the other 3 games tonight-
Missouri State won easily 73-53 over Cleveland State to improve to 2-1-

Valparaiso trailed at halftime, but they had a great 2nd half to win 89-76 at SIUE. They are now 2-1-

Loyola loses at home to Coppin State 76-72 to drop to 1-2. Ouch.
Coppin State was 8-25 last year with a 326 RPI. They were 0-2 coming into tonight, losing to Rider, and getting blown out by 32 at Virginia Tech.-

Again, poor 3-point shooting hurt Loyola. They were just 4-21. Their leading scorer was Tate Hall, a redshirt junior transfer from Division II University of Indianapolis.

Great job for Evansville. When was the last time a MVC team beat a #1 team?

Believe it or not this is the 4th time a Valley team has beaten the #1 AP team this decade.

-UNI vs KU in 2010 in NCAAT
-WSU over Gonzaga in 2013 NCAAT
-UNI vs UNC in 2015
