Great, then you can go back to talking about your D1 football and OVC basketball. You know, the stuff that matters.
FIFY ^ Also here's a link that you can read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Divi ... ampionship
OVC basketball had 2 bids and both of them won tournament games. The MVFC has a school that gets more media exposure than any MVC basketball school. Loyola did get a lot of media exposure for a while because of their F4 run, but their time in the spotlight is over.
MVC basketball was a one bid league that was a 15 seed. Had UNI not blown their huge lead we would have been a 1 bid league, playing as a 16 seed in Dayton. Last season we only had a team in the tournament because of an automatic bid, so I stand by what I said. No one would have made it without it or even been in the discussion. Meanwhile both Belmont and Murray State were in the at-large discussion at the end of the season.
Maybe we could be a 2 bid league this season, and I hope we are, but based on what has happened so far that doesn't look very likely.
