Also of note.. WSU and ISU finish EIGHT games ahead of third. Way to go Valley. Made us proud


THAT had to happen if WSU and ISU both are tourney bound. Would you rather each got 3 losses?

That's incorrect, if other teams had good non cons they could be good wins or "not bad losses" for ISU and WSU. It's very possible for the MVC to get multiple At Large bids, it's happened before

WHAT does the non con have to do with an 8 game gap to 3rd?
I never said better non con performances wouldn't get bids. Once the conference season started, WSU and ISU needed all the separation they could get. I think it was about maxed out on that.

Shox go in as a #2 seed? Congrats to ISU, let's just hope two teams get into the dance. Shockers generally don't do well in St. Louis. But they are pretty darn good!!
