Arch Madness (MVC MBB Tournament)

[historyman]

Carried over from another thread:


BTW, The first home game for StL City SC is Saturday night, March 4th, 7:30 pm, during Arch Madness at their brand new stadium just down the street at Market Street and 21st. (Look towards the big Ferris Wheel) They will draw a full house--sold out (22,500)--with upper deck tickets having gone for $273 (against Charlotte FC). St Louis has been "soccer mad" since the early 1900's when Catholics came to St Louis in large numbers. Saint Louis U used to sell out every match and season tickets for StL City SC were reserved with deposits about 3 months after the team was announced.


StL City SC wins tonight in Austin 3 - 2 (Feb. 25) in first game ever.Late goal makes expansion St. Louis City a winner over Austin FC | National Post


I seem to remember that the new stadium's naming rights were bought by Centene Bank and will be Centene Stadium.


EDIT: Apparently Centene Bank withdrew it's name from the CITYPARK StadiumFormer names: Centene Stadium (February–October 2022)

CITYPARK Stadium sits at Market & 21st, 7 blocks west of Stifel Theater (Kiel Auditorium) and roughly 2 blocks west & north of St Louis Union Station.(1900 Market St - Google Maps)Enterprise Center to CITYPARK - Google Maps

While a victory against MSU yesterday would have felt nice, strictly from a seeding prospective I kind of like where we are.

1.  I would much rather face Murray again than any of the trio of ISUb, UNI, or Missouri St.
2. AND  If we beat the Racers I would much prefer to face Drake rather than Bradley. I could take this a step further because I would also prefer Drake over SIU or Belmont. I'm not making predictions here but I am stating my preferences taking into account our now determined list of bad options.

Just Ducky, I agree 100% on the seedlings for Valpo. Prefer what we have most definitely.

Well. Hard to beat a team 3 times in one season. Valpo has a chance against Racers. Good matchup, but clearly this team doesn't know how to close games, so if it's close we have no shot to pull it out. Maybe the team will try something new, attack, draw fouls instead of holding and winding shot clock down. If we advance and play Drake, only way Drake looses is if they are emotionally spent from Bradley game and or they are overlooking us. Either way.......If we hear nothing by 2:00 Monday then yeah.......Apathy goes to another level.

It's been totally proven that this is not true and it does happen more often than you think. It just doesn't stick out in your memory.

This will be explored on The Victory Bell this week.

Will tomorrow be the last time we see Ben Krikke play in a Valpo uniform?

I would like to see a decent bunch of guys conclude their season with at least a win in Arch Madness.

Very interesting that the betting line for the Valpo-Murray State matchup has Murray State as only a 1 pt favorite.

Both games between the two this season went to overtime.

[tjjvalpo]

It is hard to beat the same team three times in a season. Here's hoping!

[VULB#62]

I'm kinda saddened that prior to this reply, only 13 replies were posted and it's game time 🥺

Speaks volumes.

Valpo does not have an offensive system.

[oklahomamick]

Valpo hasn't had an offense system in years.

Remember there was a time we dreamed of a valpo vs Murray state in the mvc tourney game.

We never that it was possible. 

[usc4valpo]

Valpo is getting smoked at half. But it has been a great promising season based on the Valpo spin doctors.

[justducky]

Good defense by Murray. Better game to game adjustments by Prohm. I think we might make it interesting but I wouldn't bet on it.

[VULB#62]

I am not being sarcastic. Let's let the second half play out.  I'm  from Bastin (Boston) and "ya nevah know."  We could have a wicked pissah second half - right David?

To our players, come on guys, this is Arch Madness, rise to the moment!

[truth219]

Outside of Ben this team is bad

Only good thing about this game was I passed the stone at halftime. Now if somehow Valpo could find their way back into this game it could be a real good day.

Then again, maybe I should be content with I have, or rather, don't have anymore.

[hailcrusaders]

This is getting pretty vintage in a hurry.

[truth219]

Thank goodness Murray went cold
