The best basketball in the Midwest is played in conference that doesn't have "Big" in its title.

How about WSU vs. BU for the national title, and MSU vs. CU in the "We Got Screwed Royally" final? :)

Sounds like a plan!:valley:

Congrats to Both BU and WSU.

You have done us all proud. Good luck next week.

I hope there are alot of Valley brackets winning some money. I know mine is looking good!!

Congrats to WSU and Bradley doing what we all knew they could do!

I am going to enjoy this week ahead. I just hope I get some work done around all the articles and TV...

Works for me!

If Packer and Nance have any credibility at all, they will acknowledge the situation and publically apoligize for their shameful display. The Kentucky-UConn game currently on would be the perfect forum for them to do that.

[BearsChiefsFAN]

I think Digger just had a heartatack

Go Valley

Oh hell man, they are sooo 20th century!

Not even watching that game, just cause of those two being there and calling the game and there is no way they will apoligize on national tv, they do not have the gonads to do it

That would require taking them of MUTE.

[wushocker]

Good job Braves! If WSU & Bradley keep it up, Packer will have to do one of their games. But if not the damage has already been done. Packer is eating crow!

[outpost]

I have a feeling that Packer will be doing UNC-WSU, if the heels don't stumble against George Mason.

[JayPak]

Nice teeth on Digger. Though he's not the one to put the Blue Devil horns on, that'd be Packer.

[ISU87]

holy crap, Nance and Packer were BOTH just talking about the TWO MVC teams in the sweet 16 during the GT-KY game and BOTH commented on how good the two teams are playing!

[RoundhouseSteve]

I heard dat!!

Oh, my God.....they praised the Valley again and they're almost ready to apologize to Littlepage too. Almost.......

Noticed that Nancy has been doing most of the praising though.

[Aargh]

Nantz and Packer were right - RPI is broken.

RPI had the MVC WAY UNDERRATED!

[1972Shocker]

Is this an MVC first - two teams into the Sweet 16 in the same year?

Will the Conference change its name to the Big MVC?

Two teams in the Sweet 16 makes us at least Giant Killers!

Two teams in the Elite 8 and we can resurrect "The Valley of Death".

Let's keep it going guys.

:shockers: :braves: :valley: :bears: :jays:

[SignMan]

Even a "Hi Major" Bracket Buster rematch in the Sweet 16:shockers: :braves: :valley:

[ISU87]

from the MVC site
Thirteen seed Bradley faces No. 5 Pittsburgh on Sunday. The Valley has never had two Sweet 16 teams in the same season.

Is this an MVC first - two teams into the Sweet 16 in the same year?

:shockers: :braves: :valley: :bears: :jays:

[TrueBlueJay]

Nanzty boy was giving some backhanded props to the Valley and Bradley in my opinion. I almost felt like he was saying because they were so hard on the Valley and Bradley, that is why they are playing so good.

The Masters is gonna suck this year having to listen to him for the entire weekend.

[1972Shocker]

Does anyone have any idea how much a Sweet 16 Double means to the MVC in terms of dollars?

:shockers: :braves: :valley: :jays: :bears:

[Fraydog]

I don't know about double, but it's a pretty significant hike in the amount of dollars all the Valley institutions get.

:valley:

[LABluejay]

How about WSU vs. BU for the national title, and MSU vs. CU in the "We Got Screwed Royally" final? :)

Sounds good to me too.

Congrats to the Shockers and Braves!!! Way to play and show up the big boys.

Congrats to your fans for the MVC cheers as well!

[scottpt99UE]

Way to both Bradley and WSU. You guys are caring the the valley banner high, I hope at least one of you can carry it to the Elite 8. The valley has been heard from.

BTW- Bradley totally messed up my bracket, I was hoping they would win but I really didn't think they would get past Kansas. They got a bad seeding in a weak bracket and are definetly making the most of it.

[Florida Saluki]

I'm blessedly speechless...AWESOME BABY!!!!

:shockers: :braves: :valley: :jays: :bears:

See the Peoria Journal-Star online sports page for an article explaining this. Money is split 10 ways, plus participating teams get travel expenses. Going into Sunday, the league was at $1.2 million dollars this year.

[DawgFan]

Way to go Braves and Shockers. WAY TO GO!!

[tw805]

Forgive me for being a huge nerd, but I think Craig Littlepage should print this post, roll it up real tight, and shove it up Packer's @#$.

Sweet 16 results:

Conference Teams Selected Teams in 16 Original Seeds

ACC 4 2 1, 3, 4, 10
Big East 8 4 1, 1, 5, 5, 6, 7, 7, 10
SEC 6 2 2, 3, 4, 8, 8, 10
Pac 10 4 2 2, 5, 7, 8
Big 12 4 1 2, 4, 6, 12
Big 10 6 0 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 9
MVC 4 2 7, 10, 11, 13
CAA 2 1 9, 11


Clearly, no conference has done more with less. Perhaps these idiots will shut up now.

[Majik45]

Not too bad for the teams picked to finish 5th and 6th place in the league in the pre-season MVC poll.

Congrats to both!!! This is so ginormous for our conference I can't even put it into words. The best part is WSU has an incredible chance to break into the Elite 8, which would be out of this world. Congrats to both teams!!!!!!
