Good job so far MVC teams! They are talkin about us!!

[Shockerfan13]

The past few days during "feast week" a lot of media heads are taking notice of the Valley. Keep the ball rolling!

Here are a few examples:

Andy Katz ‏@ESPNAndyKatz

Valley looking extremely strong. Will be surprised if there are not multiple bids. Creighton, Wichita State, Illinois State (maybe UNI)

Jason King ‏@JasonKingESPN

I didn't see the Wichita State-VCU game, but if the Shockers beat these guys in their home gym, well ... they must be pretty darn good.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Wichita State continues its impressive start with a win over Iowa in Cancun. Terrific start for Gregg Marshall's team.

Mark Adams ‏@EnthusiAdams

Wichita State is legit. So is The Valley. Creighton, Shockers, Illinois State, UNI...

Dick Vitale ‏@DickieV

Hoop lovers MISSOURI VALLEY CONF. NEEDS PR as Commish Doug Elgin's league is underrated-WOW Creighton-Wichita ST-ILL ST - N Iowa -Drake

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Is anyone shooting the ball better than Creighton's Ethan Wragge? BlueJays F has made 18-29 3's on the year. Lethal from behind the arc.

Mark Adams ‏@EnthusiAdams

Creighton only non-power 6 team to go 4-0 vs Big Ten last two seasons combined.

Dick Vitale ‏@DickieV

Make sure get a look at possibly the future winner of POY Doug McDermott Creighton vs Badgers-MVC is underrated baby

Dick Vitale ‏@DickieV

Dr. Dickie V believes that Doug McDermott will find a way to lead Creighton to a W over the well coached Bo Ryan's Badgers.RESPECT MVC

Pat Forde ‏@YahooForde

Northern Iowa's 20 at half was the most -- repeat, most -- a team has scored in first half against Louisville. Season average: 17.3.

Bill Self tried to tell you Northern Iowa could play.

Jon Rothstein ‏@JonRothstein

Illinois State coach Dan Muller going with freshman Kaza Keane now as his starting PG. Love the Redbirds this year in the MVC.

@MedcalfByESPN: I still expect Creighton to win the MVC. But it’s not a given with Illinois St, UNI & Wichita State in the league.

@KirkWessler: Rick Pitino calls MVC "very underrated.' Says Creighton, Illinois State, Wichita State & UNI "great teams."

I have no doubt there are plenty more. This is just some that I found while searching twitter for Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Illinois St and Creighton. Might be some of the best attention the Valley has gotten since the 2005-2006 year when the Valley got 4 bids. Hopefully the Valley (especially those towords the top half) keep up the strong showing!

A lot of BIG opportunities today for the MVC.

Here's hoping for a bunch of wins!

[AndShock]

Replace MVC teams in the title with Creighton, WSU, UNI, and Illinois State.

[Wufan]

Drake got a mention.

The good news about the MVC this year, is the top four actually have chance to get some separation.

For a league like the MVC to get multiple bids, we need to be top heavy and not beat up on each other all year long.

Jinxed it?

What a terrible day for the league.

yeah pretty big choke job by the MVC today. Hopefully it is just a bad day and not a trend

[pafan]

Only a bad day from a resumé perspective. There were some good wins available for SIU UNI and ISUR. But I don't expect much of an RPI hit unless CU loses

[Jet915]

Unless UNI runs the table on the rest of their non-conference, I only see CU, WSU and ISUR having at-large chances at this point.

[denjayfan1]

That was a heart breaker that IlSt didn't pull that one out today.
