They have been consistently good for a while but not great. Where is NC champ game Butler now? 14-17. Hell App State beat Wichita State in Bball a handful of years ago. Three straight tourney appearances but before that only one tourney in the previous 24 years(2006).

Did Wichita lose its coach? Either way, the perception of the MVC hoops league is one of strength; whether true or not. Recruits are going to flock to those programs from the midwest. How many hoops units is the MVC sitting on? probably a ton with more to come. There was a time no one had heard of Gonzaga either, they went on a tear and now they've been on the map for what seems like decades. Wichita could go on a similar type of run.

So to say it's 'dumb' to think Missouri St. isn't moving to the Sun Belt because of hoops money, only goes to show your own naivete.
