MRI2005: Regular Season Ends

March 12, 2006  |  By Benjamin Miraski

It wasn't a pretty regular season for the MRI. Things didn't go exactly as planned when the tournament was pronounced. But if it is any consolation, a great like Lunardi missed two this year, breaking his streak of one miss seasons.

And the champion when all is said and done, is Memphis. A non-power conference team in the year of the non-power conferences. With the Missouri Valley getting four bids, the Colonial, Conference USA, the Mountain West, and WAC, all getting two, is there anything else that you wouldn't expect.

Check out when everyone finished in the final regular season rankings of 2005-6. The next ratings will be published after the tournament completes.
