Valparaiso at Missouri State

Valpo handled Evansville in the Missouri Valley Conference Championship opener and will take on Missouri State here, who earned a bye. This will be more of a home game for the Bears who finished their season at 22-9. They have been better late in the season, entering at 10-3 in their last 13 games. They have had Valpo's number this season as they won on the road by 17 and at home by 18, making it four straight wins vs. the Beacons. This is a tough spot for Valpo, coming off of no rest, and they are not a deep team. Plus, Missouri State has out-classed them in two meetings already this season. Make the play on Missouri State.
