To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Arch Madness, the league office has put together a bracket challenge featuring the previous 29 tournament MVPs.
The bracket was randomly chosen, with regions highlighting some key figures in the history of the league: Doug Elgin, the Missouri Valley Conference commissioner, Dana Altman, a former Creighton head coach who has collected the most Arch Madness crowns of any league coach, Rich Herrin, a former Southern Illinois head coach who led his program to the only three-peat in Arch Madness history, and current UNI head coach Ben Jacobson, who has won four titles in St. Louis, the second-most among all coaches.
Fans will be able to vote for their favorite MVP throughout the month of February exclusively on the @ValleyHoops Twitter account, beginning at 10 AM (CT) each day, and closing at 3 PM (CT). In the event of a tie, a follow-up 30-minute poll will be done on Twitter.
The bracket was revealed Monday at 8 PM (CT) on the @ValleyHoops Twitter. To watch a reply, click here.
