Very low, but Marshall has brought this reputation on himself.

We really need CU to win at least a couple. Otherwise this will end up being a disappointing year for the MVC.
This has been an amazing year for the MVC regardless of the NCAA tournament and it's unfortunate that all we remember is March. Two teams ranked in the final AP Top 20 is pretty damn good if you asked me.
I agree with you to some extent. It was a good year overall for the MVC. But if CU doesn't make some noise you can't tell me that's not disappointing? How often do we have 2 teams that talented in the big tournament? Very seldom. If one of them doesn't get to the sweet sixteen that's VERY disappointing. Particularly in a year when the MVC was getting some love from the national media.

The Valley will be tough again next year and WSU/Creighton helped enable the way for multiple bids next year. There is so much parity in college basketball the seedings are almost a non-factor.

That doesn't make any sense. Great teams pave the way for themselves to get bids. Not teams from the previous year. Teams in the valley could sh*t the bed next year and the committee isn't going to give us extra bids because WSU and CU were great the year before.

Re-read. I said the Valley will be tough next year meaning teams will win and be "good". Plus good press like this year and multiple bids always helps from a media prospective and overall impression of the conference.
