With six games left, the Loyola men’s basketball team has a two-game lead in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) standings. It’s a cushion the team hasn’t had this year, and it’s certainly welcome at this point in the season.
Despite what recent history has told us, though, it might not be enough.
Since the MVC expanded to 10 teams in 1992, each team that led by two games with six games left has gone on to win the regular-season title, according to the league office. But given this rollercoaster of a season, I’m not counting my chickens until after they hatch.
