UIC is Number 5
(St. Louis, MO) – Five Valley teams are named in this week’s mid-major national poll. CollegeInsider.com’s weekly poll finds Miami (Ohio) as the number one team in the latest poll. Illinois Chicago is the Missouri Valley Conference’s highest rated team at number five.
Ironically, teams six and seven are from the MVC. Murray State is sixth and Illinois State is seventh. Fresh off its win over Purdue, Valparaiso is ranked nineteenth and Belmont comes in twentieth.
This week, UIC visits ninth-rated St. Mary’s and Evansville faces top-ranked Miami. Valparaiso travels to 18th-ranked South Dakota State. Belmont will entertain a Furman team that is also receiving CollegeInsider.com votes.
Murray State is the league’s top ranked kenpom.com team.
Drake joins those five Valley teams in the poll as one of the teams in the ‘receiving votes’ category.
