With 1 week left in conference play, Wichita St. has clinched at least a share of the MVC title. The only team that can share with them is Illinois St., and that's only if they win both their remaining conference games and Wichita St. loses theirs. It won't be an easy week for the Shox though, as they play Bucknell in a non-conference game, then travel to Indiana St. A couple of wins would really help their NCAA seeding, but a couple of losses.. well Gregg Marshall doesn't even wanna think about that. Near the bottom, Loyola Chicago actually has a chance to finish the regular season with a winning record, which would bode will for Jawouk Bafou (britrock88). The top 4 spots in the MVC tournament are decided, and naturally, those 4 spots will go to the only 4 teams in the conference that have a winning record for the season. Still a lot to play for in the middle of the pack though, as teams could play their way out of play-in games, or play their way into a play-in game.
