MVC Teams in Postseason Tournaments Thread...

[UNI MadCat]

Thought maybe it was worth starting one thread encompassing all the MVC schools playing on and talking about them in-game/post-game.

Not that it will turn any heads yet but the MVC is a perfect 4-0 in postseason play so far.

And if wall-to-wall NCAA tourney play today isn't enough, SIU tips off against Arizona St tonight at 11 p.m. (CST) - approximately the time the NCAA games are over. Should be a great day!!

CBI Round 1 (Result)
- Bradley over Cincy; 70-67

CBI Round 2 (Schedule)
- Ohio @ Bradley; Monday, TBA (livestreamed here)

NIT Round 1 (Results)
- SIU over Okie St; 69-53
- Creighton over Rhode Island; 74-73
- Illinois St over Utah St; 61-57

NIT Round 2 (Schedule)
- SIU @ ASU; Thursday @ 11 p.m. (ESPN2)

that is going to be a tough game for SIU, having to play so soon and all the way across the country with not a lot of time to get used to the time change....and no mullins

Yeah the valley is gonna be tested the 2nd round of the NIT. But i feel they can win. Heck it just goes to show that the valley is for real, and the NCAA made a HUGE mistake by not taking more. I hope all the Valley teams have a chip on their shoulder and kick some major tail. I really want Creighton to beat Florida so bad!!!! I hate the SEC

Unfortunately, everything turned out in the opposite. Would have been nice to see IlSU win the battle of "highest RPIs left out of the Big Dance" but it wasn't meant to be.

I wouldn't have guessed that we'd be sitting here with one team from the Valley left in the postseason.

Congrats to Bradley for making the "Final Four" of the CBI.

Wednesday, March 26th - Bradley @ Virginia (FCS, 6 p.m.)

Bradley won in Charlottesville tonight, 96-85. They now head to the championship series against either Tulsa or Houston!

Go BU and win the CBI!!!

Yeah, the CBI might be a joke, but it would still be cool for an MVC team to win a postseason tournament.
