Handing out the Hardware: All-Conference Awards of 2017 (Part 2 of 2)--Hoops HDMost exciting single bid league this year?
— Luke Benz (@recspecs730) January 3, 2018
Let’s exclude the WCC, Atlantic 10 and Mountain West from this discussion as those leagues still have a chance at being multi-bid leagues. Of the remaining conferences, here are the five I’m most intrigued by this year:
Missouri Valley: It’s damn near impossible to pin down who the favorite is. Missouri State, Northern Iowa and Loyola are probably the favorites, but I could easily be talked into somebody like Bradley winning it.

Valparaiso Crusaders (9-6, 0-2 MVC) RPI: 176, KenPom: 157 – Since coming to Purdue with an 8-0 record and a strong RPI Valparaiso has fallen off a cliff. This week they started Missouri Valley play with a 73-64 loss at Indiana State and a 67-50 home loss to Missouri State. It was hoped this could be a tier 2 win in the end, but now they will be lucky to climb out of tier 4.New year, old problems: Slow start dooms Valparaiso in loss at Bradley--Post-Tribune
