Some really good articles are giving MT good pub. We are on the cusp of becoming that "National Team" that Davis keeps mentioning. Just gotta "keep keepin' on" and not blow the chance which lies before us.
Let's see how the tournament plays out. At some point, you have to ask yourself, do we really deserve to be in the NCAA tournament if we can't even win the CUSA tournament, which is one of the poorest league in basketball this year?
I say if we lose in the finals, then it's a decent argument we belong in the NCAA's. But if we lose in the quarters or semis, then we have no business in the NCAA tournament IMO. If we can't even make it to the finals of the CUSA tournament then we don't belong. Just my opinion.
Let's see how it plays out. Our guys will get what they deserve/earn.
The fact Witchita State is still referred to as a mid major says it all. I realize their conference but they average more in attendance and probably have a better NCAA tourney record than half the SEC schools. Basketball is a little better than football as far as the "small schools" getting chance but it's still a racket. The media loves the mid major label because it holds certain schools to a class when in a lot of cases the mid major school has a larger student population, averages more in attendance, and has a better basketball program.
To hear the media talk last year it was like we had a student population of 5K and just moved up from division II. The MSU win was a great upset but more a result of bad seeding than a tiny school beating a giant. Our team showed that when they didn't run around the court celebrating.
dukewayne: All you had to do was to watch/listen to the commentators on the UCLA/Arizona game last night to confirm your last post. (Naturally one of them was Jay Bilas - shill for all things "power" conferences) Talk all game (it was a good one until UCLA sprinted out late) was about which "power" teams were on the bubble and how many each "power" conference would get in. If any mention was ever made of any "non-Power" bubble teams I didn't hear it. I could have missed it (doubtful) since I had my laptop in my lap (isn't that what they are for? LOL) watching the Rice/La Tech game streaming on CUSAtv.
