*chuckle* at Deighton/Crayton
(though I suppose such spelling is just as bad as people calling us NIU)

Re: MVC in the postseason

Lets compare all that info to the mighty Mountain West Conference and how they'll be spending the next few weeks . . .

NCAA
MWC: 4 teams (New Mexico, BYU, San Diego State, UNLV)
MVC: 1 team (UNI)

NIT
MWC: 0 teams
MVC: 2 teams (Wichita State, Illinois State)

CBI
MWC: 1 team (Colorado State)
MVC: 1 team (Indiana State)

CIT
MWC: 0 teams
MVC: 2 teams (Creighton, Missouri State)

So . . . not that some of these other tourneys really matter, but it looks like 6 MWC teams will be staying busy these next few weeks while 6 MVC teams will be staying busy.

The difference between the two of us at this point, in my opinion, is hype. That's it.

Challenge

Looks like the conferences are pretty even in head to head play, as a whole. MWC has good teams at the top, but not throughout. San Diego State had to beat Drake (bottom of the Valley) in OT and New Mexico barely got by a sub par Creighton team.

They're better at the top, but were deeper. Thats one of the reasons they were able to get 4 bids. They had a bunch of crappy teams for the top 4 to beat up on. It was very similar the year the MVC got four bids, there was a huge gap between the top 6 and the bottom 4, and the result was 4 ncaa bids and 2 nit bids (back before the cbi and cit). Parity is bad in a high mid major league like the MWC and MVC.

Re: MVC in the postseason

I'm going to sound like an ignoramous, but what the hell are the CIT and CBI? You mean they actually watered things down more than the NIT?
