MVC Championship game Sunday, 3/4

[Chico]

And again. They have yet to implicate WSU in any wrong doing.

Like I said we will see. But I am NOT worried

Shocker fan, I??™m not bitter about you guys leaving the Valley like BU IMO,should have done a few years back also. Good luck in any tournament you get invited to.

yet another guy that woulda helped ISU - Roland Griffin...
run off a couple years ago at ISU, now at Iona...
was the star and an absolute MONSTER in the MAAC Tournament and carried Iona to their 5th NCAA bid in the last 8 years from the #4 seed position!!

29 points - he becomes at least the 5th recent ISU player who left & got to the NCAA Tourney before ISU did.
(Griffin, Lynch, Lofton, McIntosh, Zeisloft)

And yet we will have a top 5 seed, at worst, in the tourney....sucks to be us......

All of the Valley just wishes they were in our shoes.

But hey, good job with the improvement this year. Maybe someday you can have the season Loyola did and MAYBE get a 11 or 12 seed.....

I meant to include one of these, , after my too bad so sad comment as I mostly said it in jest shockerfan13. I don't begrudge Wichita movin on up. And I actually have said time and time again on this forum how much I've liked your players over the years. And this years team is no exception. Just can't stand your overbearing, self important, bully of a coach. Enjoy your first round matchup against Loyola.

Some people predicted doom for the MVC after Wichita State left...

BUT instead, the Valley was as EXCITING and as good as it's been in a long time...
the tourney was competitive and well attended....I know I sure enjoyed it more and so did everyone else I talked to.

AND GUESS WHAT...TV ratings for the games broadcast were up over 30% from when Wichita was playing!!!!!
"Sunday’s Loyola Chicago-Illinois State Missouri Valley Championship had a 1.2 (+33%) and 1.76 million (+30%) on CBS
— the largest audience for the game since 2011".

Isn't that amazing- the complete collapse of the Missouri Valley seems to have NOT HAPPENED!!!

[Chico]

Hasn??™t collapsed but sure nothing like it used to be. Having a balanced league doesn??™t make it a strong league.

[BravesWinINStyle]

If you??™re complaining about a geopgraphically compact mid-major league finishing 8th, you have unrealistic expectations.

CBS aired 4 games last weekend and the MVC final finished 2nd in the 18-49 demo. Complain away...
