Missouri Valley Tournament Preview, Bubble Watch


Bubble Watch
Locks: Loyola-Chicago (8)
In as of now: Drake (12)
Drake feels destined to be the talk of the town Selection Sunday. The Bulldogs have the perennial bubble resume of a mid-major program with a gaudy record but a low strength of schedule. In my view, a loss to Loyola-Chicago in the MVC title game would leave the Bulldogs *just* on the right side of the bubble. A loss to anyone else, except for maybe Missouri State if a lot of things go sideways elsewhere, would be season-ending.
Needs auto-bid: Missouri State, Indiana State, Evansville, Valparaiso, Northern Iowa, Bradley, Southern Illinois, Illinois State
