Illinois State @ St. Mary’s and Murray State vs Tennessee State in the Field of 68 are the obvious exciting matchups for the Valley opening day. However, the matchup I’m the most excited about is Indiana State hosting an improving Charlotte squad that beat the Sycamores last year. The 49ers are picked 5th in the AAC. This will be a good test out of the gate to see where the Sycamores are at.

Glad UIC helped the Valley fans out by starting their game at 5pm opening day against St. Francis (IL). Staggers the games a little bit.

Quality opportunities opening week for the Valley: Murray State vs Tennessee State (Field of 68) Illinois State @ St. Mary’s Indiana State vs Charlotte Valpo @ Purdue UIC vs Robert Morris UNI @ Furman Bradley vs Pacific The Valley needs to have a fast start to the year with not as many quality games on the schedule in week 1. A lot of non-D1 games to start

🚨 1 WEEK AWAY 🚨 We are almost there, folks!

🚨 Murray State’s game will be on this channel opening day against Tennessee State 🚨

Just an exhibition, but definitely dampers some excitement

Really good showing for the short-handed Braves on the road at an NCAA-tournament team in SLU! Get ready to learn Dietrich Richardson!

I know it’s only exhibitions, but you could see the flashes last season and especially towards the end of the year. He was my pick to make the biggest jump for Bradley and maybe even the Valley as a whole. He put in the work in the offseason getting stronger. 💪

Roman Domon 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Murray State goes 3-0 in exhibition season. Racers are looking good! NOW THE REAL SEASON STARTS!
