Only if the team stays over after losing a play in game. Sorry if I'm being a downer but after being in school for the first couple of NCAA teams, this is really hard to watch.Took 48 hours for the valley to solidify itself as a 1 bid conference. It’s like the old saying, you can’t win The Masters on Thursday, but you can lose it… or something like that
Bright side, maybe the birds will see Saturday this year at Arch Madness
UNCWThe valley beat...
Unfortunately, it’s really not for certain teams. History shows that a valley team can’t afford the losses that UNI has already posted 3 days into the season and still expect to hear their name called on selection SundayIt's too early to determine the postseason fate of the conference.
Wouldn't drake and Loyola be in the top 4?Yeah not great so far for sure. The top 4 are not living up to their pre season hype. Especially UNI and MSU.
Yes, very interesting.So on opening night Indiana St. scratched out a win vs Green Bay which I thought was a pretty impressive win on the road considering their circumstances. However, tonight, Indiana St. got blown out by a very good Purdue team (not that surprising), but in addition to that, Green Bay got absolutely smoked by one of our future opponents in Wisconsin 72-34. I was surprised it was such a lopsided game against a Wisconsin team that is not supposed to be extremely impressive this year. Just thought it was an interesting scoreboard comparison to mention.
Belmont was 26-4 last year and return 97% of their scoring. Four of their starters are seniors. They were also 3rd nationally last year at 2 point field goal percentage at almost 60%.thank god were adding belmont. They beat Evansville by 38 if I saw the score correctly.
Unfortunately not the case. If the rest of the valley keeps playing this poor and Loyola loses in the MVC tourney I doubt they get in. The strength of the conference has a lot to do with if multiple teams get in.Loyola is the best team in the league and won by almost 60. I think we need to chill for a little bit. If the Ramblers, with their noncon schedule, perform like I expect them to, and then dont win in St. Louis, they'll get in.
UNI can forget about an at-large, but the two best teams in the league haven't done anything to blow their chance yet.
I agree with you as far as Valley team getting in. Look at what the NCAA did last year leaving out a 26 and 4 Belmont. However, I think Loyola may now be the exception to the rule because of their recent NCAA tournament success. Expect an unfavorable seed though.Unfortunately not the case. If the rest of the valley keeps playing this poor and Loyola loses in the MVC tourney I doubt they get in. The strength of the conference has a lot to do with if multiple teams get in.
