Every big name team you faced has been terrible.

You Shox fans, as much as you will hate it, should always be cheering for ISUr (unless you play us obviously). We are your only chance at a top 50 rpi win for your tourney resume.

Is he even the MVP of the Redbirds? The big 3 just take turns having big games.

There is a 55-spot RPI difference between WSU and ISUr. If the Valley needs one of the two to go 20-0 and lose the Final to the other, are we sure that team is Wichita?

ISU hasn't played Drake yet. That will cut that difference in half.

Can we just skip those two games?

Still, his point is valid.

If you're a Valley fan... it's ISU we should be cheering for to run the table... not Wichita.

Paris is MVP of our team I would say. But your right it seems like every game someone different out of our big 3 has the best game.

Neither team has any quality wins, if ISU beats Wichita twice, Wichitas RPI would get worse and not count as a quality win.

More likely that WSU runs the table and gets in off name recognition and a gaudy record than ISU.

Either scenario is super slim for a second bid. Splitting and 17-1 each plus both making it to Sunday is probably the best scenario for the MVC. And probably the most likely to happen.
