The lack of local media attention just goes to prove that folks in Chicago do not find the MVC all that interesting or compelling, despite what people in Kansas or Iowa think. It's hard to get excited about podunk-palooza.
What WOULD be exciting is a nice tourney win. Go Ramblers!
Meanwhile, the Horizon League Tournament begins tomorrow in... [drum roll, opens envelope] beautiful, exciting, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Tomorrow night Valparaiso willl face Milwaukee, and Wright State will face Oakland (the suburb of Detroit, not the city in California).
This is actually the second round of the tournament, because games were held in Valparaiso, Indiana; Milwaukee; and Rochester, Michigan on Tuesday.
The tournament will continue on Saturday, as #1 seed Green Bay faces the winner of the Valpo/Milwaukee game, and Cleveland State faces the winner of the Wright State/Oakland game.
The championship will be held Tuesday in one of the the four following cities: Green Bay, Cleveland, Fairborn, Ohio, or Milwaukee... (depending on the outcome of the Saturday games). So don't buy your tickets or hotel rooms for the final on Tuesday yet, because you don't know what state or time zone it's going to be in... Now
THAT'S what I call excitement!!!
