No offense and no argument that the A-10 is the better conference, will probably give us a better chance to get an at-large but I am not a data guy....So not being able to attend the Conference Championship is more important to me than playing St, Bonaventure.and having bragging rights over friends who went to ISU and SIU and Bradley( and attending games with them) is more important than playing Rhode Island. and even though the A-10 may get more bids we will have to up our play to get one.
This is not about which Conference is better or who gets more bids...for me it is about my personal experience as a fan and the A-10 is just not as compelling to me as a fan.

I completely understand your point, and my hope is that you end up getting the best of both worlds. Nothing prohibits us from playing Bradley, SIU, and Illinois State in non conference play, and I suspect with our increased travel budget, we will want to schedule as many Illinois non-con games as we can. I foresee us trying to keep rivalries going with those teams, and they are certainly better for scheduling than Coppin state, Norfolk state, D2 schools, etc.

23 D1 games that I can count were cancelled for today …. I’m starting to get worried.

I am back with my post-nonconference season power rankings. I also take a closer look at each team's best newcomer.

I am going to do a five part series examining the ten best MVC men's hoops players in each class. Today, I started with the freshmen/first-years.

Before you settle in to watch what's left of the MVC schedule tonight, take a look at part 2 of my series examining the top ten MVC men's basketball players in each class. Today we'll look at the sophomores.

I think you meant Chris Knight not Ryan Schwieger when talking about Hutty. But good read, thanks!

Part three of my five part series looking at all of the league's top players by class is now posted. Take a look at the Missouri Valley's top ten juniors/third-year players (featuring Braden Norris) below!

My latest article features my take on the top ten seniors/fourth-year players in the league. But there are actually 21 guys featured total including five honorable mentions and six Belmont/Murray/UIC guys who would be in the top ten if they were in the MVC. Enjoy! Or don't!

Unfortunately, no Ramblers on this list. But you will be all over the next one.
