Hello Ramblers,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I started a new blog that will be focused on MVC Basketball and MVFC Football. I am a longtime Valley fan who is a veteran of 17 Arch Madnesses. I have been making MVC writeups for my friends for years and consider myself a pretty good writer, so I figured why not post my write-ups publicly for other MVC fans to read if they'd like? I intend to post a couple times a week. Sometimes I'll comment on the current league goings-on, sometimes I'll talk about the mid-major/NCAA scene overall, and sometimes I'll post about MVC history.

I launched yesterday with five articles. I have my 2020-21 MVC Preview broken into three parts, a piece detailing how I'd handle the NCAA Tournament during the pandemic, and a piece listing each MVC school's greatest basketball team of the 21st century (spoiler: Loyola is #1). I think it is pretty good sampling of the things I intend to do moving forward.

Check it out if you'd like: www.missourivalleybeat.com

Thanks!

Thanks. After this weekend's results I probably should have had the Ramblers #1.

I think we’re all disappointed with UNI’s performance. I think the loss of Isaiah Brown hurt them much more than people expected.

Agreed. Brown was the defensive catalyst. I also think missing Berhow hurt. But not enough to excuse 0-3.

Two new blog posts today.

One runs down the action in week one and updates the power rankings.

The other ranks the top 30 returning players in this year's MVC.

Check it out here: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com

Thanks!

You made some good points about our players. Porter recently made a comment about Tate Hall slowing down and playing smarter, which I think will benefit our team a lot. Also, a point about having a stacked team and Aher possibly playing less minutes, that may be a good thing. It may give him an opportunity to make his minutes count. I think he is a talented and integral player to our team, but it may benefit us if he gets more time to rest.

I'm really interested to see how Braden Norris and Baylor Hebb fit into the rotation, and to see how much Welch and Wojcik improve. They may not get much of a chance to showcase their improvements.
