Led by Creighton’s league-record
17,155 per-game attendance figure, which ranked No. 6 nationally,
the league was eighth-best among
Division I collegiate conferences.
The Valley’s turnstile of 1,221,295
in home games translates to an
average of 7,270 per Valley site.
Six league schools ranked among
the top 100 nationally, and two
MVC schools (Creighton-17,155
and Wichita State-10,312) eclipsed
10,000 per game.

Ratings Percentage Index

The Rating Percentage Index, or
RPI, is a computer-generated rating
system that was first developed for
and is used by both the men’s and
women’s NCAA Division I basketball
committees to assist in the selection
of at-large teams for the NCAA basketball championships.
The Valley ranked No. 8 (out of
32 conferences) in the Collegiate
Basketball News Ratings Percentage
Index, and has ranked among the
top-nine leagues eight of the past
nine seasons.

Five Teams in Top 100

In 2012-13, the Missouri Valley
ranked No. 8 as a conference, according to Collegiate Basketball News
(CBN). The MVC has been No. 8 or
higher eight times in its history, with
all of those taking place in the past
nine seasons.
At No. 18, Wichita State was the
highest-rated team in 2013. (The
Shockers were also No. 18 in the
season-ending RPI of 2012.) Southern Illinois was No. 9 in the RPI at
the end of the 2006-07 campaign to
set the league standard.
Since 1991-92, 78 of 88 Valley
teams with regular-season RPIs (preSelection Sunday) in the Top 100
have been in post-season play.
