LOL, don't let truth get in the way of your hatred. MVC attendance was what was pathetic. AAC attendance was 20% higher than the MVC for the tournament.

MVC attendance was down 26% from last year and the championship game attendance was down 31%. The AAC championship even with geography against it still drew more than the MVC championship game.


MVC Final TV Ratings were up 29% this year.

Arch Madness Final, Wichita State vs. Illinois State: 3/5/17, 1:00 PM, CBS - 1.358M Viewers
Arch Madness Final, Loyola-Chicago vs. Illinois State: 3/4/18, 1:00 PM, CBS - 1.765M Viewers

Also, better numbers in the 18-49 demo.

Same team as last year went from a bubble team to a 4 seed. The selection committee is SOOO Bias. I am sick of it and refuse to watch any Tourney games that do not involve a Mid Major team. Which I guess means I will watch Wichita St if they continue to win.

Let's hope you don't have to worry about it after the first week.

I’m still rooting for the Shockers, simply because I like Coach Marshall and love the brand of ball they play. I wish we could end the dick measuring contest. I get it, WSU went to the AAC and you get to play Cincinnati and Houston and UCONN. That’s great. Have a nice day. Hope you win it all. I seriously do.

Now stop telling us what a shitshow the MVC is. Thank you.

How is this one of his worst teams? The Shockers were preseason top 5 in the country and returned EVERYONE.
You finished 2nd in the conference and didn't even make your conference tournament finals. Then, received a #4 seed (meaning 13-16th best team in the country) in the tournament.

Therefore, you UNDERACHIEVED your projections.

Can someone ban this idiot?

My enjoyment of the MVC was not diminished one bit with Wichita being gone. As such, I have no ill will towards them, but I also have no more interest in them than I do Central Florida. There really isn't any reason or value to any of their posters being on here.

Lost Chris Jans and Greg Heiar. If you want to say this team was as good as last year you’re also saying that MVC teams are so incompetent offensively that they managed to make a 100+ ranked defense look like a top 20 one. I choose to believe we got worse for a variety of reasons (lost coaches, failure to fully recover from injuries, etc.)

I honestly don't understand why Wichita fans hate the MVC so much. From my understanding our commissioner helped them get Greg Marshall, and they gained national attention and received at-large bids while in our league, including the year they went to the Final 4.

I honestly think that most of their fans are just mad that no one in this league misses them. They all thought we would beg them to stay and we all happily showed them the door. I honestly hate Wichita State, but it's not because they left. I've always hated them, because their fans are jerks.

Then you go back and there's the Anthony Molina (former Evansville baseball player) story. The guy had the chance to go pro, but Wichita's pitcher threw the ball at him while he was on deck because he didn't like that he was timing his pitches. Now Molina is partially blind in his left eye and it ended his pro chances.

So yeah we don't miss the jerks from Wichita. I was SOOOO happy when they left. And for the record I will be rooting for the Thundering Herd and any other team that might play Wichita in the tournament.
