How many teams do they deserve in the tournament. (Hopefully not many.......as you can see, I'm an IU fan)

Two maybe even three.

2-3 would be nice, but they're talking 5-6 on ESPN. I know this conversation comes up every single year, but how many at-large bids should a mid-major receive?

Well Southern Illinois is the autmatic, they always play well in the tourney, Wichita State will get in,but then Missouri State, Creighton and Bradley are all on the bubble. Basically Creighton blew there chance and Missouri State will be one of the toughest decisions for the committee to choose. I'm going to go with 2

The MVC will get at least 4 teams in the dance and most likely 5. UNI, SIU, and WSU are all locks. MSU and Bradley could either both get in or just one may get in(looks like Bradley at this point if it's one). I'm not sure if the MVC deserves the 4 to 5 bids it will get but I guess we'll find that out in the tourney.

With Wichita State and now Bradley in the sweet 16 the MVC deserved the four bids it got and probably at least one more. The MVC has more teams in the sweet 16 then the Big Ten has, who would have thought that was going to happen.

Yeah, and no Big Ten team left. A definite props to the MVC, apparently those spots were well deserved!!
