National Valley Mentions - Downtown Shocker Brown - 01-09-2012 08:08 PM Put posts you find mentioning the Valley, specific teams, or players here. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/43918/heres-what-we-learned-on-saturday Quote:* Indiana State lost at home to Missouri State to drop to 1-3 in conference play. The Sycamores have a nice nonconference win at Vandy, but they'll have to win the Valley tournament again to get back to the NCAAs. The 3-1 Bears, meanwhile, look like they have staying power in the MVC race. Quote:* The same goes for Doug McDermott and Creighton. The sophomore star scored a career-high 44 points in a 92-83 win at Bradley. The Bluejays have recovered nicely from that surprising home loss to Missouri State to open Valley play.

He scored 44 points in a win at Bradley on Saturday. And he’s No. 2 in the country with 25.2 ppg. Plus, he’s averaging 8.3 rpg and shooting 86 percent from the free throw line. But big numbers don’t guarantee elevation to the main stage. McDermott’s tale, however, should. In high school, he was known as Harrison Barnes’ teammate. Then, he joined his father’s collegiate program and Pops told him that he’d probably redshirt his freshman year. A few guys get hurt, McDermott gets a shot, and by the end of the season he’s All-MVC. This season, he’s led Creighton to a national ranking and the spotlight that comes with it. His first name is ordinary. But his game isn’t. FYI: The bandwagon is filling up. |
