MVC & OVC Teams Make Appearances
(St. Louis, MO) – College Insider has released its season-opening poll of mid-major basketball programs. Missouri Valley and Ohio Valley Conference teams make many appearances. Two from the Missouri Valley rank in the top ten.
Valley favorite Bradley begins the season fourth in the mid-major top 25 poll and Northern Iowa is seventh. Little Rock, the Ohio Valley favorite is ranked 23rd.
Three other MVC teams are in the ‘receiving votes’ category. Murray State (Tied 41st), Drake (Tied 46th) and Indiana State (Tied 52nd) have been so honored.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
