Cincinnati is a shit team.

Basically just Cumberland chucking shots every possession. Not a single other player stands out as even serviceable

WHo do you guys have houston vs cincy? what about vs the spread, Houston -5? houston has looked very good, but their competition hasnt been much. Cincy has lost a few more, but looks to have played a tough slate.....

I've been doubting Houston most of the year...thinking they were just fool's gold. They're making a believer out of me.

Now that I'm believing in 'em, watch 'em crap down both legs and go on four/five game losing streak! I have a tendency to do that to teams.

Houston should be ranked in the Top 2 and are part of a High Major conference.

Loyola Chicago is expected to win the MVC and is currently a 15 seed.

Rough year for that conference.

Literally anyone can won that conference tourney . Bradley just beat Loyola last night, UNI beat Illinois St and Indiana St beat Valpo. The last place team in the league is probably no worse than a 6 point dog vs the best team on a neutral court

I still think Drake is the best team in the mvc but they matchup awful vs loyola so they'll need the Ramblers to lose to someone else

They have a bunch of athletes who arent sound basketball players, thats how id describe Cincinnati. They can run less talented teams off the court but anyone comparable theyre likely gonna lose to.

well, Wes Miller's resume took a beating this past week

Think they need the auto now. Don't realistically see a way they get in losing in the So Con. Tournament. I'd love for the So Con to be a 3 bid league though. Probably would take Furman winning out, and then UNCG beating Wofford in the final. Then maybe.

MVC is nuts this year . Like 6 teams within 2 games of first . I'm strongly considering going to the conference tourney as I think every game should be exciting

It really is a crazy league this year. Loyola who is currently the auto was my last 15 seed. Meaning one slot from 16 seed. Honestly don't know if the league has ever been a 16 seed in the tournament, I'd probably guess no.

Yeah every single team in the B10 is higher rated in NET than Loyola ( who is top in the MVC ). That's pretty crazy . I still think whoever wins the tourney will be a tough out for someone

It would be pretty crazy to think a team could follow up a FF and then be a 15 seed. Would actually be pretty compelling though. A game against Kentucky, maybe a rematch with Michigan. Would definitely be interesting.

Nevada could be a very interesting seeding case

I went to the Missouri State @ Drake Game today. Drake led most of the way, but struggled with key free throws and held on to win by 2 after the Bears missed a last second 3. #24 (Prim) for the Bears played a nice tough game inside. Another good MVC Game!

Dayton is a genuine top five team

 

[SteelersPride]

Dayton is a genuine top five team

what happened there, they didnt even receive a pre-season vote. I know that happens every year, but they arent an under the radar team.

They didnt even get an AP vote till week 4, where they got exactly 1, then week 5 they cracked the top 25 at 19
