Eight days between games, hopefully enough time to take what was seen in the first seven games and see some improvements.

Unfortunately, not enough to win this one.

Racers 72, Redbirds 67

NOTE: "The Valley On ESPN" are conference (as opposed to institution) produced telecasts, all are distributed on ESPN+ (as opposed to the MVC-TV "network" (Bally Sports Indiana/Kansas City/Midwest/South/Southeast & NBC Sports Chicago (as well as ESPN+ outside of the 13-state footprint))). It is also interesting the conference now has a protected 13-state digital footprint (Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee) even thought it does not have a current member school in seven of those thirteen.

Gonna be tough. I think Murray St and their fans are going to be fired up for MVC game number one in their history. I really wish we weren't opening their conference life. I see their having a promotion of T shirts for the inaugural MVC game. But it looks like there are tickets available to buy via ticketmaster.

Also for TV, Murray St lists ESPN+ on their website and we list MVC on ESPN so who knows where it will be on.

It'd be cool to spoil their MVC opener. That could spark a fun, new rivalry in the league. I don't think it happens, but it'd be cool nonetheless. Looking forward to after Xmas when the guys can get on a more routine game schedule.

We don't have much of a chance, lose by more than 15 unless they put their second team in real early

They beat Texas A&M, pretty easily. But lost to Chatanooga and UMass. So not sure what to think of them thus far.

There will be a new starting 5 I’m hearing. Better yet I believe could be a starting 5 playing different positions than usually when starting

Watched their game against Texas A&M. In that one, they were "streaky good." They got a good-sized lead, lost it, then got it right back again mostly with some hot and cold outside shooting. Prediction: MSU 76, Birds 62.

The line has gone from 8.5 to 11. I don't think that is enough.
I look forward to seeing how the games go tonight.
Drake at ISU Blue I see Drake winning this one by about 8
No Iowa at PU Bradley by double digits
Valpo at Belmont Belmont by 5
