All 10 MVC teams are in action on this final day of the regular season. The only conference seeds that are not yet determined are the #1 and #2 seeds.
Wichita State is playing at Missouri State right now on ESPN2. MSU has the early lead.
The SIU-Indiana State game is also underway.
The UNI at Creighton game is on the MVC Network at 1:00 CST.

Note that the Bradley game tonight has been added to BU.tv and is available to watch online.

Boy you can't help but wonder how much better WSU's at-large chances would have been had they finished the job against UConn. But nothing do about that now, though they certainly can win the regular season outright. The problem is they look really lethargic today as they are down 32-21 to MSU at the half.

Gotta love the "Wichita is not a state" t-shirts the MSU student section is wearing! :D
 
WSU cannot make a 3 pt shot, while MSU has gone 5-12 from 3.

MSU up by 11 at halftime.

Was really hoping WSU would win, because I don't want them on BU's side of the bracket.
 
Adam Leonard leads Missouri State with 9 points and MSU leads Wichita State 32-21 at halftime.

Southern Illinois trails Indiana State 33-26 at halftime.
There are unofficial reports that Gene Teague did not make the trip to Terre Haute, and may no longer be a part of the team.
SIU is also without senior Jack Crowder who left the team for personal reasons. It is reported that 2 members of his family were killed in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Carl Richard, who sprained an ankle in his last game, is playing today. He did not start, but he played 14 minutes in the first half.
 
I am noticing Toure Murry, who was preseason All-MVC, and was runnerup to Kenny Lawson as preseason Player of the Year. He doesn't look like the same player he was his first 2 seasons. He looks like he's much less aggressive, and his scoring is down. He was Wichita State's top returning scorer from last season (11.9 ppg), but this year he is averaging 9.8 ppg, but only a little over 8 ppg in MVC play, and he is under 30% on threes. WSU's juco guards have picked up some of the scoring slack, but Murry doesn't look the same to me.

Kyles has proven to be the real star, even as he was completely a non factor most of last year

Agreed. Murry has seemed 'off' all season.

If you're a Shocker fan, I think this is kind of a disappointing year to this point, given the expectations. You blow a big lead against UConn on national TV, and then finish 2nd in the league after being picked almost unanimously to win it. But, we all know, the tone and feeling of the season can turn on a dime if they win Arch Madness. I still have them as my favorite to take the tourney.

Do we have to be constantly reminded of this in EVERY thread?! :roll:

it isn't 3 years - it was 21 years -- MSU had not won the regular season title in 21 years, and 21 is indeed greater than 9


In that Indiana State win over SIU -- Seck had just 6 pts, Fay just 8..
SIU's starters totalled only 23 pts.... and Bocot was 8-16 off the bench...
 
Evansville wins 73-67. Colt Ryan sets a new career high with 32 points.
Illinois State shot an uncharacteristic 10-21 from three to hang in the game.

The Aces wore their old-style sleeved uniforms today to celebrate the history of Evansville basketball.

4,455 to be exact. But then we shouldn't be concerned with the attendance at other schools, we should only focus on Bradley's attendance.
