Thought the Valley might pick up a couple of wins in the NCAA this year but only the Shocks were able to prevail. Still the 4 Valley teams that made the dance this year are all relatively young. About the only team in the Valley this year who had much senior presence was Indiana State I believe. Both Loyola and Illinois State who were in the Top 6 are also quite young. The Valley will be very tough again next year.
Congratulations to MSU, UNI and SIU on very fine seasons.

Thanks! Sorry about that misinformation I posted about LMU being the 4 seed. Though they did eventually get the 1 seed I guess.
I think they get Kansas next? Could the Jayhawks make the final 4?
I think both of LMU's wins would be considered upsets, although they are clearly a strong club. Their RPI (not the best gauge of playing strength) is 27, while Colorado State is 20 and Stanford is 12. Kansas has an RPI of 8. For further reference, the RPI of the Shocks is 28.
The Jayhawks would (likely) have to beat #1 National Seed USC to get to the Final Four, so I think their chances are not great.
