We have the dates, time, matchups, TV channels, live streaming online and more for the 2025 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Bracket here.
Although Drake and Bradley are tied for the conference lead going into the final weekend of the regular season, there are no clear favourites in this year's Arch Madness.
Twelve teams will compete, and the top four seeds will advance without playing again. The Missouri Valley Conference's sole representative at the Big Dance will likely be the team that wins the conference tournament, which will determine who receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
If the No. 1 seed from the regular season loses the competition, they will receive a bid to the NIT Rankings.

Missouri Valley Conference March Madness Bids
It's likely only one spot in the NCAA men tournament for the Missouri Valley Conference, but it depends on how Drake performs. Currently slotted a No. 12 seed in the recent bracket projection, the Bulldogs have an interesting case should they lose in the championship game. They have are 5-0 in Quad 1 and 2 games, but the NET ranking of 60 isn't a spot where most at-large teams can have confidence. For reference, Indiana State finished No. 29 in the NET with a 28-6 record last year and missed the tournament.
