MVC Postseason Predictions
We know that Illinois St. is dancing. Wichita St. and Evansville should be too. But based on the rules, since Evansville won the MVC regular season, if they don't get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, they are guaranteed a berth in the NIT. Northern Iowa might sneak into the NIT, but it's more than likely CBI or CIT for them. Southern Illinois is probably done for the season, but they could sneak into the CIT. For sure, Drake, Indiana St., Bradley, Loyola Chicago, and Missouri St are done.
