Drake beating Wichita St. sure threw a kink into the Shockers plans to repeat as MVC regular season champs. Missouri State has all but clinched dead last in the Valley. The hope for me now is that Northern Iowa keeps winning, as they might be our only chance to get a 4th team into postseason play. Unfortunately their schedule is not very favorable down the stretch, they still have games against Evansville, Illinois St., and Wichita St., and a non-conference game against a solid Bowling Green squad.
