This Murray/SIU rivalry should be a kick in the ass to BU and us to get *our* rivalry back into gear.

SIU students being on the court during that scuffle is unacceptable. I get they take a pic with the team after games, but wait until the handshake line over and other team is off the floor.

I am sure administration and athletic department will look at this and set new guidelines. Players will probably have to go into the stands now or something

Good. Nothing good will come from students going on the floor like last night. I loved when Muller had the team go into the students section to sing the fight song.

I think Xavier blocks Dayton's chances of joining. Big East has 11 teams and grabbing SLU makes sense too me
Blocks won't matter once this thing really gets moving not just a few teams here and there.

Even in the mid teens when Wichita was good the birds, who were decent, could still draw 8-9,000 for certain games. It's not like that's out of question again it was just 5 years ago.

Not MVC-specific but things are looking continuously worse for Wichita. SMU seems to be the latest team poached. Rumors have SMU and San Diego State replacing USC and UCLA in the PAC.

Grass was greener for Creighton. Not so much Wichita and Loyola.

Wichita too bad so sad.

Still to early to evaluate the Loyola scenario. They were a Thursday Night team half of the first 4 years when they came from the Horizon. Got a lucky transfer or two. That could be the same over the next 3/4 years for them. They joined 2014 and didn't get to be 'Loyola' till 2018.

Belmont & Murray St, are exceptions and probably should have both been in the Valley years ago. They have been champs or co-champs of the OVC for the last 4 years, and then it goes back even further, with some outliers sneaking in as conference champs.

But Not A State, probably long term, hurt their brand.
