NC State has 9 home ACC games including against UNC and Virginia. Should NC State win most of these games by a margin greater than Loyola's 2 point loss there, then it could make the Ramblers look good by comparison.

Of course they have to win tonight. Vegas has the game as a pick'em.

Using similar to my scenario above, if Loyola wins out except @UNI, @ISU, @MSU, @WSU their RPI is ~50. That's bubble talk, but probably on the wrong side of the bubble considering their SOS.

Toledo used a 19-0 run to take a big lead. They lead the Ramblers by 11 at half. I don't see them winning this one

Ramblers valiant effort but fall short to Toledo 74-70. Still a good non conference but not at-large worthy

Bump.

At least we're still getting WSU's NCAA units. Plus a nice little bonus from Loyola's run last year. However, if we become a one bid league into perpetuity, this league is headed for doom both financially and from a PR standpoint.

Northern Iowa looks like the only team capable of getting an at-large bid. Take out Wichita and Creighton and the MVC hasn't had an at-large bid since 2007. Not sure why everyone gets all hyped up for it every year. The system is rigged against mid-majors. I will be happy if the P5 schools ever split from the NCAA. With their pay to play nonsense and rigging the system they are just ruining college basketball for me. I follow the MVC and OVC and just ignore everyone else anymore.

UNI has a few opportunities for a quality win but we'll need a bunch of this non-con schedule to finish VASTLY higher than expected AND a near perfect MVC record to have a chance at an at-large. The margin of error, as always unfortunately, is razor thin for us and everyone else. Over a 30+ game schedule it's nearly impossible to expect an MVC team to not have a dud game or two that ruins everything. In short, our conference is doomed to be screwed over until something changes with scheduling.

Not getting my hopes up at this point but you can't throw out MSU just yet. Yes, one bad loss. But you can't tell me they wouldn't be in the discussion if they picked up wins over LSU and Miami and Xavier.

Not counting on it though.
