bradley should not be in over mo state

[gosmsgo]

yes bradley made a late charge but so did the bears.

the bears finished 3rd in the valley and have an rpi of 19!

Making the championship game didnt count for sh$@ the last two years when mo state did it.

[skinny_uncle]

They will both be in. No sweat.

[Dawgbit]

Bradley in.

MO. State out.

[gosmsgo]

why? Im being serious here.

since when does the valley tournament mean so much? Why would a team that finished below mo state and has an rpi of 15 be conisdered such a lock and mo state probably wont make it?

IF it was a toss up between Bradley on MoState, I would have to go with MoState as well. They tied for 2nd in the regular season, and really don't have any terrible losses, Bradley has a couple of bad losses.

But, Bradley has been getting some Media Hype because of O'Bryant, and that does not hurt them. It starts to get political, which stinks. I think they both get in.

:valley:

[SubGod22]

Both teams will be in. CU is the only one that should be sweating.

[Chet33]

I agree...CU is the only question mark.

The thing Bradley has going besides the streak at the end of the year is knocking WSU out in the semi-finals. They beat two teams seeded higher than them in the tournament, which is a big deal in the committee's eyes, I think. I still think MO State is the #3 team in from the Valley behind SIU and WSU. After that, UNI and Bradley.

[BradleyBrave]

It's not between BU and Mo State. It's between Mo State and Hoftstra, George Mason, Michigan, Florida State, Texas A & M, Maryland, and Seton Hall. They should get in, no doubt. But please, stop making this a BU-MSU thing. It isn't. Don't believe the ESPN hype maching - It's about teams, not conferences.

[DawgFan]

I don't believe it is purely teams and not conferences. That said, I think Bradley has a better resume than Mo State. I have Bradley in solidly, Mo State in amongst last four. Creighton is team #69 to me.

I rank the MVC at-large candidates
Wichita State
UNI
Bradley
Mo State
Creighton-NIT

I think Wichita State will be a #7, SIU a #8 or #9, Bradley & UNI #10 or #11, Mo State #11 or #12.

I have George Mason and Hofstra in.
