Nov. 2017 Tournament Wrap-Up

2017 Boulder Classic

2017 College Classic

Kansas State beat (4) San Diego 87-72 in the first round, then lost the championship to (3) Georgia Tech 56-51.

2017 GDS Classic

Drake beat (9) TCU 73-65 in the first round, then was just minutes away from a huge upset win, but fell in the quarterfinals to (1) Louisville 70-66.

2017 Las Vegas Challenge

Bradley lost to (2) Texas 72-63 in their first game, then in the consolation semifinals they beat (6) Bowling Green 75-53, but fell to (4) College of Charleston 79-64 in the 5th place game.

2017 Legends Invitational

Evansville lost their first round game 74-55 to (2) Miami FL. They recovered to win the 3rd place game 72-65 over (4) Rhode Island.

2017 Orlando Classic

Loyola Chicago lost their first game 69-64 to (2) Iowa, then lost the consolation semifinals to (3) Weber State 92-84. They got a tough draw in the 7th place game, playing hard but losing to (1) N.C. State.

2017 Paradise Shootout

Indiana State lost their first game to (2) Michigan St. 74-50. In the consolation semifinals they lost to (3) Missouri 80-59, then lost to (8) Oregon St. in the 7th place game, 74-73 in OT. Ugh!

2017 Philadelphia Invitational

Wichita State lost their first round game to (5) BYU 62-61, then lost the consolation semifinal to (8) St. Bonaventure 65-59, but salvaged 7th place by beating (6) Arkansas 64-56.

2017 Preseason NIT

Northern Iowa lost to (8) Belmont 60-46 in the first round.

An absolutely dismal tournament month for the MVC. By my count we were 4-14 in preseason tournament games. And we wonder why we have dropped in conference prestige? Even our top teams (Wichita State especially) stunk it up. I have a feeling it's going to be another long season with 1 or 2 postseason teams from the MVC. Well, 1 for sure.. other than that, I don't know.
