Remember when Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play got started with that crazy opening night Jan. 2 and it looked like the league would be turned upside down? That was a fun night. Did you actually think the league would sort itself out after that?
If you did, I have four words for you: Welcome to The Valley.
We’re one-third of the way through the conference slate, and the league standings still haven’t calmed down. Did anyone actually pick Valparaiso University to start 5-1 after going 6-12 last year? How about Bradley University starting 1-5 after being picked to finish fourth in the preseason poll?
