Billy Packer, Meet the MVC

The Missouri Valley Conference put their 2nd team into the Sweet 16 this afternoon when Bradley beat Pitt. Maybe now, as long as they're not on opposite of Duke, Billy Packer can find time to sit down and watch them.

There are not two better-coached teams in the tournament than Wichita State and Bradley. I've been completely impressed with how well they're prepared, how good they are defensively, their shot selection, and their talent. If these two teams don't deserve to be in the Sweet 16, no one does. The athletic departments at Missouri State and Creighton should also send out press releases that read, "Billy Packer can suck me."

Wichita State gets the winner of UNC/George Mason, and Bradley gets the winner of Memphis/Bucknell.
