In this, the final year of Bracketbusters, which has experiences its ups and downs (more towards the last years), how many wins would you say the Valley should get on Saturday to be a successful for the conference as a whole?

seems most of the road teams are worse RPI's - but clearly the Valley MUST win all the home games and even pick off a couple road games to gain any respect..
I say anything less than 7 wins would be disappointing -
It will be tough to win more than 5, so 6 would be a success.
UNI/Denver will be a low scoring defensive struggle. Denver is better than they've ever been since they became D-1, and it will be tough for the Panthers to win even at home. Green Bay has emerged as one of the better teams in the Horizon late in the year as they finally figured out how to win away from home. It's hard to imagine Drake beating them.Comment

Pomeroy predicts 4-6 for the MVC, but with all 6 losses by 1-3 points. He predicts 3 relatively easy wins for the MVC (Indiana State, Wichita State, and SIU), with the other predicted win by 1 point. SIU has the highest percentage chance of a win at 79%, and Creighton the lowest at 39%.Comment

I agree, but UNI has more incentive to win now with an outside shot at an At-Large bid, as they've come on strong of late.Originally posted by Tulsa Brave View Post
Finishing with a 12-6 Valley record with 2 quality non-conf. wins, and a strong showing in St. Louis could put them on the bubble, considering the relatively weak field this year.
Of course, whenever I've mentioned the chances of a Valley team as an At-Large team, they lose and then it's the end of THAT discussion!Comment
