My latest article compares the MVC basketball programs from 2001-2022 over several different metrics.  I attempt to answer the question of who has been the best program in the league this millennium.

I put together a quick preview featuring all 13 MVC related games in the various men's and women's postseason tournaments featuring a handy list of when and where to watch them at the bottom.

Well, so far everyone isn't coming back!  The biggest surprise to me is Missouri State losing two projected starters to the transfer portal in JaMonta Black and Sharp, as well as Keaton Harvey.  Next is Evansville losing Shamar Givance, who was the motor that ran their team.  Next is a very big loss of Reeves at Illinois State.  So far, eight Valley teams have lost at least one to transfer, with UNI, Drake, UIC and...(knock on wood) Valpo untouched.

Yeah, I knew I was living in a fantasyland with that one haha.

My final thoughts on the MVC postseason are found below. This will probably be the last of my blog until the fall (although I plan to keep Tweeting). For everyone that read and interacted with my stuff this year thank you! It has been a blast!
