What is the most current at large bid each valley team?

As the title says, what year was the last time each valley team received their last at large bid to the ncaa tourney?

What about Auto bids?

I think the results will be interesting. We should include CU and Loyola.

WSU received an at large bid this season 2012-2013
I believe WSU's last auto bid was in 1988(The last time the tourney was played at a non-neutral site).

Bradley got an at large in 2007.
Creighton got the autobid in 2013.
Drake got the auto in 2010.
Indiana State got the auto in 2011.

Missouri State got an at large in 1999. And made the most of it by advancing to the S16.

I don't remember the exact year of the last autobid. Those days in the early 90s all kind of blend together for me.

Was 1988 the Danny Manning year? I thought that one was at Kemper Arena.

Bradley got the autobid in 88. WSU was 87.

Our last bid was 1985. It was an auto-bid for winning the MCC.

So yea...bad.

Wasn't BU's at large in 2006, not 2007? 2006 was the year the Valley got 4 teams in the tourney and both BU and WSU went S16.

2006 was also the year CBS put cameras in the room where MoSt was watching the Selections. MoSt should have had an invite without any doubt or question. Hinson and the team still had the cameras running when it was revealed that MoSt got the shaft and didn't get invited.

Anybody remember the "Where's the beef?" Wendy's commercials?

Yeah, those came out the last time Illinois State received an NCAA at-large bid. :Bam:
