Do I want them in or do I want them out?

In.

More $ for the MVC, more pub for the MVC = good for us.

More recruiting ammo to use against us also.

That is one real concern I have if they make the big dance. That combined with me just not liking them leads me to say OUT!

I hope ISU gets in. The more MVC teams in the tournament, the more $ the conference earns and shares with its member schools.

By the way.....on PTI yesterday, Jay Bilas predicted Drake would be playing on the 2nd weekend of the tournament.

When it comes to the post-season, I root for all MVC teams. I hope ISU gets in to represent the conference, but we'll see.

I definately want ISU in. Not only does it help the Valley's reputation, but our "hate" for ISU really only occurs when we play them head to head, or we when we try to finish ahead of them in the standings. Since however they are the better of the two teams this year, I will definately root for an NCAA appearance and a long run in the tournament.

I don't think they are necessarily the better team. I'll take the full strength Braves on a neutral court.

Good for the Valley

Yes, I want them in solely for the PR of the Valley. The more in......the better and stronger the Valley looks.

Hey Chitown, maybe you are right about ISU not doing as well had they had Bradley's non conference schedule. However, it seems to me, the Birds did a little better playing the same conference schedule as Bradley!

Regardless, I think us Valley guys have to stick together. We had a few Redbirdfan ********************s that cheered against the Braves when they were on their sweet 16 run a few years ago, but most Redbirdfans I know, including myself, were ecstatic to see you guys get in and represent the Valley proudly.
