Who will win it all

Iowa St. v Mississippi Valley St.

Mississippi Valley weren't good last season averaging 38% from the floor and 31% from deep. Now add the departure of 8 seniors and those numbers are looking REALLY bad! The Cyclones on the other hand, averaged 48% from the floor and 36% from deep, and they are only loosing 2 seniors, so everybody on their roster is coming back.

MVS is very bad and with the all of their seniors gone, this will be a very easy win for the Cyclones. Iowa St

Marquette v Loyola (MD)

Marquette has a good season, averaging 45% from the floor and 39% from deep. They have some good interior presence and are decent from deep since the departure of the Hauser brothers. and their playing against a decent squad in Loyola (MD). who averages 46% from the field and 34% from long range. The good news for the Greyhounds is that, they are bringing everyone back.

The departure of the Hauser brothers will be huge, but with Loyola having a difficult time last season on defense, this should be a easy win for the Eagles. Marquette

#18 Ohio St v Cincinnati 

This will definitely be the more exciting game than the others this week. Ohio St is ranked, but looking at who they loss, they haven't really convinced me. They're PPG takes a hit with the departure of C.J Jackson and Keyshawn Woods. and their percentage from the floor and from deep take a slight dip as well. Cincy keeps most of their starters from last season. And with some good defense last season. This will be a close one with Cincinnati walking away from Columbus with a win. Cincinnati
