Poll: Will Missouri State make the NCAA tournament?

It would be great for the MVC to get 2 in. Lots of games to be played the next couple of days that will reshape the bubble.

Nope and they don't deserve to.

No, but for an MVC "fan" to say we don't deserve is complete BS.

We should all hope they do. For the Valley I would even like to see WSU in. We have to be in this together. :huh:

Go beat someone then call us, until they do they do not deserve to be in the NCAA field.

We tried beating someone. WSU turned out to be no one.

That said, they aren't getting in. Not after yesterday.

Depends on how you're using "deserve." Your resume certainly isn't that of a team that "deserves" to be in the tournament.

LOL, you are really in denial.

No wins versus Top 25
No wins versus Top 50
Losing record versus Top 100

played a low major non-conference schedule. Play in low-major tournament.

Midmajor conferences with only 3 teams in the RPI top 100 will not get at large bids without quality nonconference wins. The Bears lost all of their road games against decent OOC opponents. Even with this season's weak bubble and as a longtime Valley fanatic, even I don't believe the Bears deserve an at large bid.

If the Valley had 5 or 6 top 100 teams and no teams below 200, then this season Bears record would deserve an at large even with no quality OOC wins.

Just stating facts. Your resume is weak. You don't deserve it.
