ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Regular season co-champions, Wichita State (29-4, 17-1 MVC) and Illinois State (27-5) meet in the most fitting of Missouri Valley Conference Tournament finals.
Each dealt the other its lone conference loss during the regular season. Sunday afternoon's rubber match settles that score once and for all, while determining the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The 1 p.m. tip airs nationally on CBS, with Kevin Harlan, Dan Bonner and John Schriffen. On Radio, Mike Kennedy -- now in his 37th year as "Voice of the Shockers" -- calls his 1,209th consecutive game for KEYN 103.
