Time for MVC play.  

Valpo hasn't looked real good so far.

Valpo   117
Drake     6

Anyone going to the game?

Not going. Been there before. It's a nice high school gym. Good place to watch a game; close to the action. Only some of the concession lines sold beer, so make sure you get in the right one 

You can park for free in front of the houses there

I feel like Drake always plays poorly here. Maybe having guys who have played in D2 gyms will work better since the venue will feel familiar from their pre-D1 days. (Guys it’s a joke, not a knock on the NWMS guys who have been wonderful.)

Yeah I’ve been before…. Some good strip clubs in Lake Station haha

First true road game of the season.

I will try to attend (no guarantee)

You're absolutely right that we've played some bad basketball at Valpo over the past five years. I always felt like the Region guys would get overly amped for the game at Valpo and play poorly. Hopefully, that same concept doesn't transfer to the K-State or Missouri State games.

Drake favored by 10.5, per ESPN

I'm so nervous with all the MBB chaos we have witnessed this week, entering what has been a house of horrors for the Dogs lately. 
That said, and I know it is absurdly early, but St. Bonaventure jumped up 12 spots in the NET with a 17 point road win over 200+ ranked Bucknell yesterday. 

I'm gonna admit -- I don't feel great about this one. It's just got that feeling for me.

Have faith in the coach, the system and the players
What more do we really have?

Line down to 9.5 now

Give the pts

Wow Vegas with the disrespect fr

One thing to note, which means nothing but is cool: we're one of the last 10 undefeated teams in the country. 

Ferguson is 95% from the floor and 33% from the line. That's got to be since kind of a record.

Slow start but got it a comfortable lead at half.

9 point lead at half. Hope they come out and blow it open.

Don’t let Valpo hang around.

I can't get over the kid named All Wright. He also has a brother named Always Wright, who plays MBB for Rhode Island...

Solid half. Lucky with some no calls on both ends. The disciplined defensive pressure continues to be fun to watch.
