That's exactly what I said.

Man, if I were Wichita I'd be so pissed at the rest of this league

Northern Iowa didn't play tonight. I liked what I saw out of MSU (contender?) and Bradley (avoid Thursday?). Loyola looked good too, but they are tiny.

Shockers win 85-39. Frankamp and Shamet led the team in minutes with only 20 each. This team is deep, extra deep. Buckle up Valley, it's gonna be tough to knock these guys off the perch.

Our stellar night continues as Drake loses at home

*turns on roku excited for opening night*

*sees all these horrible losses to the Summit, Horizon, Ohio Valley, & MAC*

Yep, I'm out on Veteran's Day. See everyone at Arch Madness!

Actually, good point, UNI has earned the right to stand alongside Wichita as being mad at the rest of the league.

RPI's going to see a 3-5 day with wins over 2 SWACs and a MEAC....hoo boy

Alright then. Hope we're still working on those league application letters.

Pretty rough opening night for the Valley. Eesh.

Weak opponent, but some encouraging signs for the Bears. Played w/o their two most physical inside guys in 6'8 Martin[ suspension] and 6'11 McCullough[ still rehabbing] , also perhaps most talented player in Kendrix [ suspension] and 6'6 highly rated frosh guard Boogie Williams who will rs. Didn't get any production from last years NOY Miller [ 1pt] but didn't need it. This team is extremely deep as even w/o the big guys and Kendrix, we had guys like Dixon, Ruder, and Rhodes coming off the bench. Ruder while perhaps suffering some loss of overall athleticism to chronic injury, has hiS shot back and hit 6 treys for 18 pts.

Our 3 jucos combined went 20/27 from the field with 49 pts,17 rbs, 9assists vs 2 tos. 6'9 Alize Johnson went 8/8 from the field with 6 rbs. He had several coast to coast rbs , dribble the floor and either finish or assist. He's very skilled for his length. Rhodes at 6'6 went 4/5 from 3pt had 16pts and 7 rbs. He'll keep pushing Kendrix once he's back and is probably gonna play in front of him for a while. PG Rousseau had 16 pts, 5 assists vs 1 to. He's legit although with Miller we are very small in the starting backcourt. We're gonna be hard to guard, lots of offensive fire power, but lots of work to do on defense and establishing an inside presence. Towards that end though Obediah Church did go for 12 pts, 8 rbs and 4 blks. 6 Bears in double figures none named Miller/Kendrix , two of the leading returning scorers in the MVC.
