Mountain West - Missouri Valley Conference Challenge

On the other hand, don't overlook UNI. They've made a much better statement than either WSU or MSU so far.

I'm glad someone has noticed. UNI is setting things up for an at large if they continue on this path.

I agree. Unfortunately, UNI doesn't have one of the top opponents in the challenge.

I'm very bullish on UNI right now.

UNI is only sure win. Evansville, maybe ? Don't see any others winning.

WSU definitely needs to win this one. If MSU could somehow pull off a win at the Pit then I think the valley is definitely in business for 3 bids.

Call me crazy, but I think the Bears would be doing awesome if they even make the NIT this year.
They really need a win at N.M. to even have the slightest shot in the end at NCAA tourney.

Colorado St. is a quality team - may finish in RPI top 100, so a win would give the Panthers a little more for the resume.

4-4 for the Challenge is what I'm guessing. If Drake beats AFA, would be key to possibly winning the challenge. Just not confident in them after a 44-pt. loss.

There was an interesting article written on The Bleacher Report about the importance of the Challenge - I added a link on The MVC Report. Definitely worth a look:
