The Valley actually set themselves up to have multiple bids this year with decent non conference success, however when we tanked in conference and Missouri State did the same, and their was a complete cluster in the final standings it was not going to happen. The Valley needs to continue to have good success out of conference, and have 2 teams separate themselves from the pack. That will get 2 teams in, and if those teams have success we may be able to get back to 3 or even 4. The biggest challenge will be the big school bias that has been created the last 8-10 years.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not sure we'll ever see more than 2 bids from the Valley unless multiple teams go nuts on tough non-conference schedules. But even so, a win over Florida and dominating the Valley only got Loyola an 11 seed this year.

As I said the big thing will be getting respect once in the tournament, that is part of the reason Loyola was an 11 seed. If you put UNI on that resume it probably gets an 8 or 9 maybe even higher. Once you establish yourself it is easier to get better seeding. Our 2016 team had some impressive wins but also some mind blowing losses, but we received an 11 seed because we are a more known program. This is what the Valley needs, Loyola winning is good for everyone in the conference. Yes it may bring them a few more recruits but it is also showing that the Valley is still strong even without Creighton and Wichita.

Porter had put together a couple of really solid recruiting classes on paper that last two years. We’re seeing evidence it was not BS.
