Wichita St. wins the MVC regular season title and is assured at least an NIT berth. I can almost guarantee they'll be in the big dance, along with Illinois St. Poor Missouri St. heads up the rear of the conference. More often than not, newcomers to a conference end up last, but this time Loyola changed that by finishing 9th. No matter, they are still in a play-in game.
