Well day one is in the books of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and it was quite the night of games.
In game one #9 Drake upset #8 Evansville 101-96 in OT in a high scoring affair. I didn’t get there until the 2nd half, but this was a crazy back and forth game. Drake had a 7 point lead with about 2 minutes left and let Evansville back in before winning in overtime. Drake hit a tournament record 15 three’s en route to the highest scoring game since the tournament moved to St. Louis.
In game two, #10 seed Indiana State upset #7 seed Illinois State 68-65 in a game in which Illinois State led by 12 with nine minutes left and and lost. Illinois State went about seven minutes without a field goal and let Indiana State crawl back into it. This loss puts a lot of pressure on the Redbird Athletic Director has our coach is on a very hot seat and may not return next season. Ran into may upset Redbird fans around the town.
