Hershkovich offered up a comprehensive analysis piece on the MVC Tourney along with his picks.

"Drake may clinch an at-large bid regardless of whether it loses in the title game or as early as the quarterfinals," Eli observes.

"Ben McCollum, the Bulldogs first-year coach, would never admit whether his team would rather win Arch Madness or bow out beforehand to rest and prep for the Big Dance.

But given its NCAA tournament resume, its worth considering." That's an interesting scenario for the conference tournament favorite.

As such, Hershkovich is looking elsewhere for the eventual MVC Tournament champion: Northern Iowa.

Here's Eli: "Stylistically, UNI ranks 290th in adjusted tempo, dictating a slower pace via its prowess on the defensive glass.

Conversely, the Panthers offense runs through the paint.

Led by veterans Tytan Anderson (pictured above) and Jacob Hutson, their post-up efficiency grades in the 90th percentile on a points-per-possession (PPP).

Their pick-and-roll action is also quite reliable, which would again pay dividends versus Drake and Bradleys subpar ball-screen coverage." Hershkovich notes coach Ben Jacobson hasnt taken Northern Iowa to March Madness since 2016, but he expects that streak to end on Sunday.

"On Monday, I bet on Northern Iowas +500 odds to win the Missouri Valley tournament," Eli writes in his final analysis.
