The Missouri Valley is as tough a conference as there is in the country. Any of the top-5 teams in the conference have a real chance to win it, and the 5 other teams all have the ability to pull off an upset on any given night. Since 2015, a top 3 seed has won the tournament just three times. 2 of those times the team was ranked entering the tournament, the other the winner went to the final 4. It takes a special breed of team to win March Madness as a favorite.
