The 2019-20 MVC men's basketball season marked a resurgence for the nation's second oldest Division I athletics conference as the Missouri Valley Conference finished 11th in the NET rankings as a league, moving up three spots from 2018-19.

Notably, eight of the league's 10 schools were 162 or better in the final NET rankings. Only three league schools were 162 or better in 2018-19. Led by UNI's league-best 48 NET ranking this year, five league schools had final NET figures that were better than the league leader in 2018-19 (Loyola was 131 last year.)

Before the NCAA had canceled the 2020 basketball tournaments on March 12, at least six MVC men's basketball teams had received a post-season tournament offer or were under consideration for a post-season berth. And the future for the Missouri Valley Conference is bright. The entire first-team all-conference unit is slated to return as there were no seniors among the league's top unit -- that's the first time that's happened in the 113-year history of the Missouri Valley Conference.
