Interesting year for sure.
They had some bad home losses, that didn't look bad at the time. In the end, they turned out to be bad.
I follow the Missouri Valley closely. Last year they get five teams in, and rightfully so. I can tell you that the league as a whole is 3 times as good as it was last year and that ends up hurting them as only 2 make it in....and frankly, Creighton was on the bubble (probably would've made it) if they didn't win the conference tournament. It's interesting how that works though. Sometimes, it's bad to play in a great conference. Further to the MVC notes, watch out for Southern Illinois. They could be this year's George Mason (a cliche I hate by the way) and I think SIU is a much better team than George Mason was last year.
