KK Robinson is out for the season.
Kellen Robinson is also out at the moment with a knee injury.

Not good news for the OVC preseason favorites.

Several teams that it would make sense for the OVC to add: Lincoln Memorial, UIndy, Chicago State, Northwest Missouri State, Bellarmine.

I already miss the Ford Center.

The back and forth between SEMO and SIUE fans was a must watch.

SE- MO
SI- UE
Chants breaking out and then both fanbases doing it at the same time.

The OVC is the most underrated conference.

It Spreads.
