Is the Missouri Valley really that strong? Is it that much better than the HL?

MVC: Witchita St #2; Creighton #4; Bradley #5; and So. Ill #7.
HL: UIC #9 & Butler #18.

How about an MVC - HL Challenge like the Big Ten - ACC challenge?

The MVC is probably the strongest it has been since 1999 when they got 3 teams into the tournament.

They literally have 5 teams if you add in Southwest Missouri State that can win a first round playoff game this year.

Then when you think about it, Southern, Creighton, Wichita State all return a bulk of their players and lose minimal starters.

The Valley might be a top 8 RPI conference two years in a row. And expect Northern Iowa and Illinois State to rise next year.
