Loyola is the team to beat in the midwest. The Ramblers will host the league tournament and went through the league with only one loss, an early season three game sweep by Ball State. In the past two weeks, Loyola has picked huge road wins at Ohio State and IPFW. They are a team dominated by seniors whereas the rest of the league is very young. Although Ball State is picking up steam going into the tournament and IPFW has won 16 of their last 17, Loyola is clearly the favorite for represent the MIVA in the Final Four.

Wasn't UConn CLEARLY the favorite against George Mason last month?  |
