MVC Ready for Primetime
MVC will, over the course of the year, be shown to be one of the top two non-BCS basketball conferences. Only the bottom two teams in the league are weak. Even the middle of the league is good.
Creighton, Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Indiana State and Missouri State are all solid teams, with the first two having Top 25 potential. So far, the non-conference league record is very good.
I see 2-3 bids coming from the MVC. The middle and bottom of some BCS leagues, especially the Pac 12 and SEC, are really bad. The mid-majors have better tournament offerings.
