Missouri Valley Conference tournament schedule:
Springfield, MO (hosted by Missouri State University)
(all times CST)
All matches streamed on ESPN+
Thurs. 11/22/18:
5 pm: #3 Bradley Braves vs. #6 Drake Bulldogs
7:30 pm: #4 Valparaiso Crusaders vs. #5 Missouri State Bears
Fri. 11/23/18:
5 pm: #2 Illinois State Redbirds vs. [Bradley/Drake winner]
7:30 pm: #1 UNI Panthers vs. [Valpo/MSU winner]
Sat. 11/24/18:
4 pm: Championship match
(since MSU is hosting, the schedule is set up so that any potential MSU match is in the later timeslot, which kind of stinks for UNI, since it makes for a shorter turnaround between the semifinal and the championship match, should they win on Friday. but oh well)

UNI has struggled against both teams (though they were ultimately victorious in all the matches), and actually struggled against Valpo a bit more, statistically.
Playing a match against Valpo (23-9, RPI in the 60s or 70s) would be better for UNI's RPI, compared to playing a match against MSU (17-14, RPI around 100). Though that doesn't really matter anymore, since UNI is out of the running for a top 16 seed, but is pretty much assured of an at-large bid, even with a loss in the semifinals.

I thought the MVC had a rule that they must have at least 24 hours between matches, maybe I misread something in another thread#MACtion

That's a great point. I'm assuming the championship will be a double forfeit. Absolutely no way you can expect Division I athletes to play that schedule
