Chad, David, and Rocco start off by looking at the Missouri Valley and how it has collectively underachieved with Loyola Chicago getting out to a slow start, Illinois State struggling, and Southern Illinois dropping some early games (although they had a big win against SLU during the recording of this show). After that we look at the other 21 UTR conferences and talk about the early and continued road success of Stony Brook, how Vermont appears to be strong again despite having lost so much from last year’s team, how Conference USA has taken a step back but how North Texas continues to play well, the overall strength of the SoCon and MAC conferences, the surprise year that Abilene Christian is having, and how New Mexico State once again looks strong. We also review the big Lipscomb v Belmont game from the night before and look at how good both those teams are and how good that rivalry has become. And as we do every week, we close with our UTR Top Ten.
And for all you radio lovers, below is an audio only version of the show…
