UNI won the conference tournament so that put Wichita into the at-large group where they were judged against

the other at-large teams. Wichita had a very weak schedule this year and only one quality win over a highly ranked opponent. The loss to UNI in the conference tournament hurt them.

Responses:

All true. Their strongest opponents were early in the season when, unfortunately, Van Vleet was out. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 14, 06:50 7
- I don't know what happened but they didn't schedule many top 50 or 100 teams. I don't know if they couldn't get those schools to play them - Krusty Mar 14, 06:52 6
  - None of those schools ever want to play the Missouri Valley. It's always been an issue. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 14, 06:58 5
    - It's infuriating really. The big conference teams are scared of the very real possibility of losing to an MVC team, so they won't schedule them... - Jim Mar 14, 07:03
    - I would love to see the NCAA set up some sort of rotation where the major conference schools have to play a mid-major from each conference but there's - Krusty Mar 14, 07:02 3
      - That would bump some of the NAIA and D-II teams they play early on though! - spamlet Mar 14, 07:23 1
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 07:25
      - How about instead of the Big 10/ACC matchup or the Big 12/SEC challenge they can do it with mid-major conferences. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 07:11
