Indiana State defeated top-seeded Missouri State 60-56 on Sunday to win the Missouri Valley Conference and it's automatic NCAA Tournament bid.

The school hasn't been to the tournament in a decade.

"It's unreal, man, it's unreal," Aaron Carter said. "We knew we could do it. We came into the tournament pretty confident."

Last season, Indiana State was 17-15, the school's first winning season since 2001, but expectations were still low heading into this year.
