Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3416105, member: 6927"] Expanding the field of study, the Missouri Valley conference as a whole is a pleasant surprise to me. Not only has Missouri State been better than most expected, but the conference is currently #7 in both RPI and Massey, ahead of the AAC. Four of the 10 MVC teams are in the Massey top 60, and 7 of 10 are in the top 110. There's a decent chance that they'll get 3 teams into the NCAA tournament. Although Drake hasn't been quite as good as expected, teams like Loyola Chicago and Bradley have come out of nowhere to have much improved seasons. Gonzaga has also been a pleasant surprise, after having lost Zykera Rice and other key players to graduation. [/QUOTE]
