The winner of this game can basically just book a flight to Dayton, even if it’s Mississippi Valley St., and their gaudy conference record. The Delta Devils haven’t exactly looked dominant here in Garland, TX, though, struggling against Jackson St. before winning that quarterfinal matchup by 3, and then taking care of AR-Pine Bluff by 7 yesterday, avenging their only conference loss. Texas-Southern, the only other team that seemed to even be able to compete with MVSU this year, pounded Alabama A&M in the quarters, before edging a red-hot Alcorn St. team yesterday.
Dave, Doogan, Mac, and Stri are all still perfect in the SWAC, and two of them are going to finish perfect, as Dave and Doogan have MVSU, while Mac and Stri have Tx-S.
#1 Mississippi Valley St. vs. #2 Texas-Southern
Tx-Southern was picked in the preseason to win this conference, but MVSU was utterly dominant all year, winning their first 17 conference games before losing on the last day of the regular season. Now, the two will face off for the SWAC title and auto-bid to Dayton.
Lohse, Man, RDoc, and Waters have Tx-Southern. Alexi, Bry, Dave, Doogan, Lil Lohse, Lynch, Primm, Rikey, Scoot, and Stri all have the Delta Devils.
