MVC men's basketball tournament 2020: Arch Madness bracket, scores, schedule, TV listings

Northern Iowa entered this week's Missouri Valley Conference men's basketball tournament as the No. 1-seed, seeking a tournament title to go with its outright regular-season championship.

Instead, the Panthers were upset in Friday afternoon's quarterfinals by a Drake team they beat 70-43 just last Saturday.

No. 2-seed Loyola-Chicago joined UNI as an upset victim Friday when it blew an 18-point lead and lost to Valparaiso in overtime. And then No. 3-seed Indiana State also lost, meaning the highest-remaining seed entering Saturday's semifinals is No. 4 Bradley.

UNI has won the tournament five times, in 2004, 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016 but couldn't add a sixth title and now awaits its NCAA at-large fate.

The tournament tips off Thursday night, with the championship game set for Sunday. The winner receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
