When March Madness rolls around every year, there aren’t many conference tournaments better than the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball Tournament. Compared to the major conferences, it’s relatively easy to find cheap MVC Basketball Tournament tickets. At the same time, the entertainment value is second to none. The league has long been one of the top mid-major conferences in the country, with most schools being located in basketball hotbeds. At the end of the day, there is no better value in college basketball than getting your hands on last-minute MVC Basketball Tournament tickets.

A Perfect Ten

In a way, the Missouri Valley Conference has been a revolving door over the years, with schools coming and going with regularity. The list of former MVC schools is actually quite impressive. However, the league’s current roster of 10 teams looks quite settled and is an ideal collection of schools. Every team is from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, or Missouri, so there are plenty of regional rivalries and recruiting battles that go on among the member schools. With the MVC Basketball Tournament being hosted in St. Louis every year, every fanbase is close, allowing all ten schools to be well-represented, making the tournament all the more thrilling, with every game having the crowd split.

Wide Open

In the history of the Missouri Valley Conference Basketball Tournament, no team has won the title more than Creighton. Of course, Creighton is no longer in the conference, making the MVC Tournament more wide open than ever before. It’s become next to impossible for any team to sustain dominance over an extended period of time, especially since there are multiple teams in the MVC every year that are worthy of making the NCAA Tournament. This always makes for a compelling MVC Tournament in which there is no clear favorite, and any team can win the tournament and punch a ticket to the Big Dance.
