Here's the early lines on those games:

UNI -5 1/2 vs ISU
Belmont -21 vs Evansville
Valpo - 4 1/2 vs Drake
SIU -9 vs Indiana St
 
UNI has roared back from 7 points down to now have a 7 point lead over ISU with 10 min to go
Belmont having no trouble with Evansville
 
Valpo rallies for the win vs Drake. Bulldogs had terrible execution down the stretch and passed up an open shot with 30 sec left.

A side note, the Valpo TV production is awful. Maybe this game was an anomaly but it was really poor. A high school group could do a better job. I hope they upgrade it because it’s a bad look for the MVC.
 
Valpo knocks off Drake74-71- pull into a tie for 5th place
SIU 66 - Indiana State 55, SIU wins despite shooting 2-19 from 3-pt, Indiana State shot poorly as sell & 18 turnovers
 
UNI losing was the biggest result of the night as they are 2 games behind us with 1 to play so I believe, regardless of what we do against Murray St on Sunday, we have clinched no worse than 5th thus avoiding the play in game. With Valpo's net being over 30 behind us I can't imagine they will pass us and win the tiebreaker. ISU would clinch at least the 5th seed with a win at home Sunday against Belmont or a Valpo loss at Evansville on Saturday. UIC plays at ISU Blue an hour before we host Murray
 
I do not want to play Valpo in 1st round. They are playing great ball right now - they are beatable yes, but a young team brimming with confidence. Dangerous team right now. I'd still rather get the 3 seed by winning Sunday and face Valpo. I still think Belmont is the cream of the Valley, but the 2-6 seeds this year are pretty evenly matched. That's why the 2-seed this year is important, but that's unlikely for BU now.

Let's be honest, there are very few teams I want to see in the first round. In reality, what is more important is which Bradley team shows up.

I absolutely agree egib52... which Bradley team will show up has been the calling card this year :(. Here's to hoping the tournament truly is a second season this year! 🍻
