Drake behind Stephen F. Austin 65-49 with 10 minutes to play this afternoon. Murray State and Illinois State are winning their games late in the 2nd half. Drake needs to get it together. Can’t have losses like this if we want a 2 bid league.

Drake is done today, down 18 with about 2 minutes left.
Murray going down to the wire with a 1 point lead with 21 seconds left.
Illinois State appears headed to 3-1, up on Long Beach 51-43 with about 2 minutes left as well.
Yesterday, Missouri State squeaked a 2 point win out against a solid Kent State team. UNI dropped one to South Florida 74-65. The Yoonees are now 1-3.

Drake got blown out by Stephen F. Austin, 92-68. They were outscored 54-36 in the 2nd half. Drake was a 3.5 favorite. Illinois State held on and won comfortably against Long Beach State, 61-52. Illinois State was a 6.5 underdog. Murray State had a 6-point lead, but UNC-Wilmington tied it up. Going to OT. UNCW won 83-81. Murray State's Justin Morgan missed a 3-point shot at the buzzer.
Evansville, Bradley, and SIU the only unbeaten MVC teams left. :-)

Wow, Murray State could have had this game won. Instead, it went to OT and they lost.

Should’ve been a really nice day for the MVC in these MTEs. Can’t believe Murray choked it away like that. Hopefully Bradley & MSU can get some quality wins tonight.

Looks like Murray got hosed on an awful call to me
EDIT: after watching it slowed down, it does look like Rob Perry pushed him a little bit. Tough way to lose a game

Hardly touched the guy, but yes, just stand with your arms straight up.

One of the responsibilities of a coaching staff in any sport is to talk to the team about assuming, being overconfident and overlooking opponents. We can all go back to games where the underdog took down the 20+ point favorite (UE at UK Nov 2019). We have not had to worry about this issue for years. I sure hope we have to start worrying about this as the season goes along I am optimisitic and excited for this team. But, it is only 4 games in and we have yet to face a top 200 opponent. Years ago we complained if we even played teams in the 200-300 range like all those SWAC teams Marty used to like to play to build his win/loss percentage. I do agree we will start to see crowds growing to 6,000 and more if we can keep up the effort like we did in the 2nd half of the Ball State game. Go Aces ! For sure, going winless against Top 50 teams doesn't exactly make people want to buy tickets either. Not sure how many casual fans would know if Chattanooga was in the same league with Baylor, Bucknell or Bristol State.

Screamin's leading at halftime after missing a couple of bunnies that could have blown it out. Bucknell is in the Patriot Conf.

Pretty nice win by Bradley - watched the full game and I honestly thought they were always behind the eight ball all game and then boom they would find a way to reel off points and get back in the lead. They dodged some bullets at the end though by missing two free throws and giving Tulane multiple shots to tie but they pulled it off.
