The 2023 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament is scheduled to begin Thursday at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis. The championship game will be played Sunday on CBS.
The 2023 tournament will be the first MVC bracket to feature 12 teams which expands Thursday to four games instead of the typical two. The top four teams in the conference earned an automatic bid to the quarterfinal round.
Eighth-seeded Northern Iowa and ninth-seeded Illinois State will tip off the tournament on Thursday at noon with three games to follow. Four games will take place on Friday with the semifinals being played on CBS Sports Network on Saturday.
