Quick Thinking Makes Some Lemonade!
Editor: The following is part of a press release from mvc-sports.com.
(St. Louis, MO) – The Missouri Valley Conference has postponed the Drake-Loyola men’s basketball series (Jan. 10-11) from the Drake Knapp Center in Des Moines, Iowa, and the Drake-Missouri State men’s basketball series (Jan. 17-18) from JQH Arena in Springfield, Mo., due to positive COVID-19 test results among Drake’s Tier I personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff. The Conference will announce make-up dates for the series/games at a later date.
Loyola, however, will now face Indiana State on Jan. 10-11 at Hulman Center in Terre Haute, Ind. The Sunday, Jan. 10, game will be played at 5:30 p.m. CT and air on ESPN2, while the Monday, Jan. 11, contest will begin at 6:00 p.m. CT and be shown on CBS Sports Network. Indiana State was originally scheduled to play Southern Illinois this weekend, but positive test results within SIU’s Tier I personnel has forced the postponement of the SIU-ISU series.
Editor: There has been no official announcement about the Valparaiso/SIU series next weekend, but our friend Todd Hefferman has tweeted that an SIU official is hopeful those games will be played.

Opening round of #ArchMadness is today. The only quarterfinal we know is @UIC_MBB v @RacersHoops tomorrow at 2:30. We look at their contrasting styles heading into the @MVCsports tournament. #FatherHarry
Don't look now, but @BustingBrackets tells us some of the hottest teams coming into #ArchMadness aren't the teams at the top of the bracket. @ValpoBasketball, @SIU_Basketball & @UNImbb shouldn't be overlooked. #FatherHarry
ICYMI: @BelmontMBB & @BradleyUMBB are two of the best at being committed to development and succeeding at the same time. #ArchMadness
Congrats to @RogerPowellJr, @CoachJonny_B & @NdotSmitty being named to the Ben Jobe Award finalist list. Well deserved!
