Final #MTE game of the THIS MTE season for @IndStBasketball. Big win yesterday and have Tarleton State today. @BustingBrackets lets you know about @ValleyHoops MTE season.
I'll say it right here and right now, @UNIwbb, @DrakeWBB & @MoStateWBB are special teams with very average records. The Panthers have defeated 2 power conference teams & lost to 2 others by a total of 4 points. The Lady Bears defeated the top ranked mid-major.
Really big win for @SEMOMBB over Kansas City. The Roos are one of the favorites in their league. Congrats @coachBkorn and the RedHawks!
.@IndStBasketball moves to 4-4 and 1-1 in MTE action with a narrow win over Iona. It's a 3-0 @ValleyHoops day. @DrakeBulldogsMB stays undefeated with a win over Georgia Southern. @UIC_MBB is 5-3 & 4-0 at home after today's win over Aurora.
