Yep. I think WSU is the best team in the Valley this year, but history says they probably won't win.

In that case, I say UNI looks like the hottest team going into the tournament.

Plus, as much as I want WSU to get the monkey off their backs with this tournament, a UNI win would (probably) give the MVC 3 teams in the tournament. Conference needs that money and prestige.

This really is never predictable. Creightons always done good but that was under Altman. We could be a completely different St. Louis team under McDermott, although he did win it last year. Wichita seems logically like the team that should win, but they never do. When it comes to St. Louis, depth is HUGE!! Creightons legs look tired playing a game every 3 days, imagine how they would look by the last day, having to play 3 days in a row. IMO Illinois State has a great chance to win it, and so does ISUB, i just cant see UNI winning it. If Wichita gets to the championship game they should have the advantage with all their depth, but really IMO the top 5 teams in the Valley are all very close in quality, WSU has won a lot of close games and could of very easily been in 3rd or 4th place right now, If I was a betting man Id take the odds and go with ISURED. If ISUR plays WSU my money is definitely on the Birds.

This really is the biggest toss-up in recent memory. Teams in the bottom half have talent and star-power to get hot. Creighton is limping but could pull it together. Wichita is the best team. ISUb has looked like the best at one point in the season. SIU(dont laugh i know they wont win) have beaten top tier teams. Im really excited to see the tournament. :dance:

As long as WSU wins one of last two games I won't care who wins the tourney and glad I won't have to care.

I voted for DU just so every team would have a vote. With MP at the helm, not a chance.

One of these years WSU has to win it, the odds are in their favor. I just can't vote for them because I honestly don't see them pulling it off. The valley has them scouted well and all it takes is one team to get hot and the shox are done. My vote goes to UNI based on them being the hot team right now.
