2012-13 Missouri Valley Conference Review
Another Sweet 16

In 2013, Wichita State became the
ninth Missouri Valley Conference team
to reach the Sweet 16 since 1994.
Notably, the Valley has received just
38 total bids from 1994-2013, meaning nearly one of every four Valley
NCAA berths since 1994 have resulted
in a Sweet 16 trip.

How Sweet (16) it is

Creighton’s Doug McDermott earned AllAmerica honors for a second-straight year
and was the Larry Bird Trophy winner.

58 Total Wins

Creighton (28) and Wichita State
(30) combined for 58 total wins last
year. Never before in the league’s 106year history had two teams reached 28
or more wins the same year.
