VBelo Daily: April 09, 2026
We don't deserve the MIVA, but I'm so glad we have it.
Number of the Day
7 - The MIVA is a gift that we should all be thankful for. Today, the eight teams that will be in the conference tournament are playing. 7 of the 8 seeds are still up for grabs in the final week of the regular season. We will likely get some clarity today, but it is very likely that some seeds will come down to the final matches on Saturday. This is fun!
