What is the magic number for Loyola to clinch the Valley regular season and lock up at least an NIT automatic bid? |

The magic number is calculated as G + 1 − WA − LB, where G is the total number of games in the season WA is the number of wins that Team A has in the season LB is the number of losses that Team B has in the season 9 |

And the way things have been looking lately, 7-1 down this stretch is completely attainable. Although, in the grand scheme, I truly think the magic number is 9. If we win out in conference, we will be on a 15 game winning streak, and if we win our first game of arch madness, we will be at a 16 game winning streak. Even if we lost in the semis we would be 27-5. I gotta believe that would get us an at large bid. JUST KEEP WINNING |

I don't see us getting an at large without making the championship at Arch Madness. Even then it's tough. Illinois State was 27-5 (17-1) last year and they were left out. You could argue that our OOC resume this year is better than theirs last year, but it's close. And, I think one reason they were left out is that Wichita State blew them out by 40 in Wichita, then again by 20 in St. Louis. |

28-7 did not get the Red Birds an NCAA at large bid last year in a conference that included Wichita State. I think the MVC is a one bid league and a Arch Madness Championship is necessary to make the NCAA. A home game in the NIT is a strong possibility if the Ramblers do not win in St. Louis. |

I agree that the at-large bid is probably a less than 1% probability. The Milwaukee loss stings and they just isn't enough there to convince the committee otherwise, in my opinion. |

Although I'd rather win out, and guarantee the regular season championship that way, we might be able to squeak out the championship with a tie for 1st. Right now we've got the best RPI, so if that holds and we don't get tied with a Missouri St or Indiana St team that went 2-0 against us, we'd win the conference. But I'd rather just win out, and not have to worry about tiebreakers. |
