We can all identify a singular event to support a position, i.e. Loyola. Loyola was clearly the best team in the Missouri Valley Conference this year but they almost got knocked off in the 1st round of the MVC championship by the 9th seed in their opening game, 54-50.

Rather than citing singular events which will be dominated by the Loyola vs. Florida Gulf examples of the world, logic/statistics clearly supports the advantage of sending your best team year on a yearly basis. The second ranked team in the MVC, Southern Illinois, was good but certainly not Loyola based on rpi, statistical rankings.

It almost seems like IvyMadness is a quick fix for a number of schools in the IL as getting to the big dance rather than doing what Cornell and Penn have done in hiring a good coach, Donahue, and find recruits/players that fit into your system.
