I know conferences aren't suppose to get bids but once again that is about the only logical explanation for Michigan State getting a bid. The Big 10 was going to get 2 bids this year no matter what. Or at least they were going to get 2 bids if the Valley was going to get 3 (Indiana State).

No need to be an apologist for them all of the time.
Again I agree they should have just won a couple in the tourney or won say that first game at ISUb and say another against UE, maybe somehow have gotten 2 out of 3 against LBSU at home, etc. It certainly is on them, but don't tell me they don't look at conferences cause they do.

This was discussed on the basketball side in years past, but I'm wondering how much the look of parity in the Valley hurt the Shocks and made their "numbers" not look as good. Had the top 3 teams clearly separated themselves from the pack, WSU might have made it. As it was, you had the top 5 teams in an 8 team league, within 4 games of each other, WSU just 1 ahead of 4th and 2 ahead of 5th. Add to this that the #6 and last place #8 teams played for the Valley tourney championship, and that the MVC shadow member, DBU, also made the NCAA field.
