MVC went from one of the top 6 MBB conferences to one of the worst in a mere 15 yrs. And wil keep reeling without real quality teams and players . The OVC is better than the MVC at this point. Just the facts. The mbb needs to piggyback on the other programs and move up maybe with a better conference that will a draw a higher quality of recruits and pts.(portal transfer students)

Exactly. Whatever happened to Pete Maravich and Scott Skiles…not to mention Magic, Bird and Lloyd Phillips. Tired of it.

His name is Markquis Nowell, and he decided to drop 19 dimes in MSG last night. What a show.

Last night we had two incredible games...K St knocking the sole remaining lil ten team out and the frenetic finish between UCLA and the Zags. Great bball.

And FAU is really good but I think K St takes them down tomorrow. Tenn didn't bring their D and the O was missing in action. Perfect recipe for getting on the bus early.

Nowell is omlh 1 of 2 players left over from Weber's last year's team.

The

The Valley is like watching Keanu Reeves act. Fun, but so far below the standard of acceptable it’s frightening.

C'mon man. The John Wick franchise is gold. Maybe Adam Sandberg.

If the Big 10 could get more teams in the tourney, maybe one might make the elite eight

Nowell came into Redbird Arena as a freshman for Arkansas Little Rock. It was one of the few times I’ve sat close to the court and the way he was talking to his teammates (and our guys in the way of trash talk) was memorable. He’s turned out to be a hell of a college player.

That's why they invited UCLA and USC. Oh wait UCLA lost

I loved watching San Diego St beat Bama. Great defensive effort by the Aztecs

If the big ten could become a 60 team conference, I believe they would have a shot at making the Final 4 and dare I say...cut down the nets. They won't be allowing any small schools from Jersey to participate moving forward. Those guys are good.

ACC feels slighted, so they’re going to discuss ways to make they have more teams in the dance each year . . .

Commish: ACC will meet to alter hoops narrative

After the ACC got just five bids to the men's tournament, commissioner Jim Phillips said he will met with his league's coaches and ADs to be more "proactive" about changing the narrative of the conference.

So by his logic any number of Valley teams with early season blemishes should have also made it who didn’t over the years:

new players (since P5 took our best)
consistent success in tournament
20 conference games
pass the eye test

You cannot inject "logic" and then try to back it up with "facts". You silly boy, we will none of that. It's all about the NET and the $$$ and since us lil ole mid majors don't play enough Quad 1/2 games we shouldn't get more bids. If we cannot find more room for the 12th and 13th place teams in the $$$ conferences then the tournament is a sham.

Don't think the NCAA isn't considering that.
