We've had Drake night for 9 consecutive years.
The 10th year (2008) was Keno's year at Drake, seeding them first, and Bradley was seeded 5th that year. So there's your answer.

I do however think that as long as you aren't trying to win 4 games in 4 days, all the teams have a puncher's chance. It should be a good one, I am looking forward to it.

I even think a team could pull off the 4 in 4 this year. It's that close. Should be a fun tourney

If it were to happen any year, this would be the year for it to happen. I just think the physical toll of playing back to back to back to back is a bit too much for any team tackle... I guess it has happened in other leagues, why not the MVC?

I think the play-in game has been around for like 20 years, so that makes the play-in teams like 1-39 vs. the respective #1 or #2 seeds all time. The odds of a play-in team winning 2 more games after they upset a top seed are slim and none. I would put a lot of money on a 7-10 seed never winning the MVC tournament.
It's like the #16 seeds playing #1 seeds in the NCAA tournament.
