If ISU could knock off CU on Friday and UNI could take down MSU and WSU takes care of business...

I'm curious to see how this shakes out over the next couple weeks. Heck, even by Monday since we all have two more games

Im not even trying to do math right now. But I wonder how many schools can finish above .500? If 2 teams join Bradley by falling flat, could it happen that 8 of 12 teams are at or above .500?

I hadn't thought about that. It would look good for the Valley to have that many teams with win totals that high. You'd be looking at maybe 6 teams with 17 or more wins on the year or at least a winning record as a whole. As a conference, we had a pretty good OOC showing. That could go a long way towards an extra bid.

We'll have to see where we sit after next weekend. I believe everyone will have 4 games between now and then. Could shake things up and give us some ideas on what may happen. But this is the Valley, and it's hard to predict.
