DJ Balentine, Milik Yarbrough, Tyreke Key, Milton Doyle to an extent, Anthony Beane, and Reed Timmer all come to mind as fitting your outliers description. But I digress, not trying to get too nitpicky. I do like your blog


No worries, I appreciate the discussion.

-Balentine is an interesting case as his stats were certainly outliers. But he also played on a team whose offense was completely built around him and he lost to Fred Van Vleet who is now playing in the NBA.
-Milik Yarbrough averaged just over 16 and just under 7 his senior year, not terribly far ahead of Townes 15 and 5. Had a little more distance between him and Custer the year earlier for sure.
-Tyreke Key at 17 and 3.5 his sophomore year (which is the one I assume you were talking about) was not that far off from Townes either. Last year he wasn't in the ballpark of AJ Green.
-Doyle's 15 and 5 to Lee's 13 and 4. Doyle's team was also 9 games worse than Lee's.
-Anthony Beane certainly had much better stats than Van Vleet in 2016. He has to be statistically one of the worst POY.
-Reed Timmer was an outstanding player but the teams he played for were terrible.

You make some excellent points. At the time I wrote that Mosley was second in the NATION in scoring and a full 8 points better than Krutwig, while also leading him in rebounding and assists. The Drake guys' stats were even further off. The only people who compare to those caliber of differences were Beane and Balentine, and neither of them were second in the country in scoring. Moot point by now as Mosley has come back down to Earth a bit anyway. But that was my rationale.

-The new week 12 power rankings are up: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/post ... or-tidbits

-With the FCS season starting this week (and a lack of new ideas from me) my second article is an MVFC preview. I doubt that will be terribly popular here, but take a look if you're interested: https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/post ... on-preview

You can now also follow me on Twitter @BeatMvc

Thanks!

I gotta say, I am becoming more and more of a Loyola guy. I'll always love my alma mater, UNI, but I lived in Rogers Park for a year (in Chicago 4 years total with the other three being in Wrigleyville) and I love your guys whole deal.

I try not to post twice a week, but I am making an exception this week to promote my Arch Madness preview I just posted.  I honestly think it is some of my better work. Check it out here if you want a primer for the weekend:

I wrap up my thoughts on Arch Madness and the UNI situation in this week's article.  I also talk about the upcoming commissioner hire, possible alternative locations for Arch Madness, and the oft-discussed topic of expansion.

I intend to continue to create MVC content as Drake and Loyola's seasons continue. Plus I have an idea for a fun article next week. So I am not done yet. But this does sort of feel like a season wrap up article in many ways.

Hello Rambler Fans! I have two new articles for your consumption.

No new power rankings but I do have tid-bits. I pontificate on Loyola and Drake in the NCAAs, another weird COVID situation for the MVC at Hoops in the Heartland, Indiana State's reported new coach and a mid-major laden NIT field here:
https://www.missourivalleybeat.com/post ... -major-nit

In my other piece I put together what a Mid Major NCAA Tournament might have looked like if the NCAA was split into two subdivisions in basketball similar to football:

Thanks everyone!

Last tidbits of the year. It is a quick read about Loyola, the Lady Bears, transfers, and a roller coaster day for UNI fans yesterday. Thank you all for reading my stuff this year!

Hey Everyone,

I have mostly been covering football lately, but I took a break to compile my thoughts on the Belmont add and why I think Murray State should be next. I should warn you there is a part of this where it may seem like I am poo pooing Loyola a bit, but it wasn't my intention. I love what you've brought to the league and I am a big Rambler fan. Might be my favorite MVC team after my alma mater UNI. Take a look if you'd like!
