Not really.............Wichita State still finishes 2nd in the MVC and that should be good enough to get them in the BIG DANCE.
It better, because I fully expect UNI to make it finishing in 3rd place.........tied with Creighton.
Creighton is playing great ball right now!

I respectfully disagree. WSU has lost 5 of 6 now. Really bad to lose on the homecourt like this. If the MVC gets 2 (they should get at least 3, but this is not an honest selection process), it will be S. Illinois and NIU most likely. If I was any team besides S. Illinois, I'd try real hard to win that tourney and not leave it up to the selection committee.
I'm hoping I'm wrong here because I'd like to this conference get three or four, but those bids are going to the ACC because the process is biased.
Jacobson's last-gasp three-pointer pins loss on Wichita State.

<!-- STORY STARTS HERE -->Wichita, Kan. - There was no reason to believe Northern Iowa would make a run in the final two minutes against Wichita State on Monday.
The Panthers trailed by seven points with 1 minute 47 seconds to play, and that was the closest they'd been.
The Shockers had answered almost every Panther basket in the second half and led by double-digits for 15 minutes.
But Ben Jacobson didn't want Wichita State's seniors to close out their careers at home on a high-note, drilling a last-second three-pointer from 22 feet to give Northern Iowa a 67-66 win at Charles Koch Arena.
In the final five seconds, Eric Coleman took an inbound pass at midcourt and found Jacobson near the sideline. Jacobson took a dribble, pulled up and posed.
"We actually kind of ran it a little bit wrong," Jacobson said. "We weren't all in the right spots, but it all worked out."
Officials checked the TV monitors to make sure Jacobson was behind the line before ruling that he was.
