Live from the MVC Tournament

We're here at the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis getting ready for all of today's action.

First up on the docket is Drake vs Indiana State. Drake comes in as the top seed but in years past that has not necessarily been a good thing in the MVC. The top seed has not won the tournament since Illinois State did it in 1998. Drake will attempt to break the trend this weekend.

Indiana State pulled to .500 (15-15) with their win over Wichita State last night. Indiana State has a decent amount of depth with 9 guys averaging over 12 minutes a game but Marico Stinson and Gabe Moore will have to come up huge for ISU to have a chance at an upset today.

We'll be checking in all weekend from the Scottrade Center so email in your questions and comments to salukihoops@gmail.com and check back for updates throughout the tournament.
