It was SIU without a doubt. They won more regular season championships than Creighton. CU finished 1st or tied for 1st 3 times, while SIU finished 1st or tied for 1st 5 times. To me winning the regular season is more impressive. So with that, most of SIU's NCAA tourney invites were at-large invites.

SIU went to the NCAA tourney 6 times (3 times advancing past the 1st round and 2 of those were Sweet 16). CU went to the NCAA tourney 5 times (Only advancing past the 1st round 1 time)

I think its gotta be SIU at the top. 6 NCAA's with 2 sweet 16's. Multiple MVC titles.

I'd put UNI 2nd. 5 NCAA's, and 1 sweet 16. Multiple MVC titles.

CU third. with 5 NCAA's and 1 2nd round appearance. Multiple MVC titles.

That leaves Creighton with 7 total MVC titles in this time period. 5 NCAA's. 1 total NCAA win.

SIU with 6 total MVC titles during this time period. 6 NCAA's. 5 total NCAA wins.

UNI with 5 total MVC titles during this time period. 5 NCAA's. 2 total NCAA wins.

For the slack WSU seems to get sometimes, averaging out to a Top 3 finish in the last decade isn't too shabby. I bet a few were surprised by that output. Granted, our NCAA stature hasn't been nearly as strong in the time period, but if you're talking about Valley-only criteria, we've weathered well. I guess it depends on your definition of "MVC Program of the Decade".

Thanks for the stats squirrel.

I voted for Southern Illinois.. for obvious reasons already mentioned.

Good stuff. UNI was the only team to finish both last and first during the decade.
