It's a clear top 4 on the women's side with Drury (11-1), Missouri-St. Louis (9-1), Southern Indiana (8-1) and Truman (10-2). Drury with a healthy Robinson is, on paper, the most talented team. Southern Indiana is possibly the deepest team. Missouri-St. Louis has a pair of dominant post players (LaPorta and Stewart). Truman has a great inside-outside combo (Belanger and Weltha).
Breaking those four down against each other so far:
Drury (0-1): Lost 66-67 at TSU on January 17. Travels to UMSL on February 3. Hosts USI on February 10.
UMSL (1-1): Won 57-54 at TSU on December 2. Lost 69-62 at home to TSU on January 20. Hosts DU on February 3. Hosts USI on February 24.
USI (1-0): Won 78-66 at TSU on January 27. Travels to DU on February 10. Travels to UMSL on February 24. -- their one conference loss at home to Lewis on January 22.
TSU (2-2): 1-0 against Drury. 1-1 against UMSL. 0-1 against USI. Has no more games against any of those other three teams.
Truman is in the worst shape regional-wise because of their 3-3 nonconference record, but they have the easiest league schedule left of these four to accumulate wins. UMSL with 7 of 10 final games at home.
