Thus, it's better for the Valley if ISU is the one running the table.
But I can understand the expected backlash from Shocker fans not wanting that to happen. It's human.
Your logic is backwards
No, it's really not.... If ISU is the only chance the Valley has at an at large bid, the Valley should want them to run the table and lose the tourney final in St. Louis.
To want Wichita to do that, you'd be wanting our 2nd best chance to go up against the P5s for the at larges... That makes little sense.
A conference in our position wants the best computer numbers team to do well. That would be ISU. Not sure how that's backwards thinking.
I did expect the wrath of the Wichita backlash though since our ideal MVC scenario doesn't include the Shockers being #1.
