A team's relative odds to win the 2010 Missouri Valley Tournament depend only partly on their MVC bracket seed. Winning the Missouri Valley Tournament also depends on the dynamics of the 2010 MVC bracket. In some cases, the team with a better Missouri Valley Tournament seed may actually face a harder path to the Missouri Valley Tournament championship than a team with a worse MVC tournament seed.
