i think i'm missing a team in there somewhere, but that's not the point. seeing that i attend an MVC school (Bradley, which upset #4 Kansas last night), i was a bit peturbed on selection sunday when the analysts from cbs were ragging on the selection committee chair for giving 3 at-large-bids to teams from the MVC, which put them to a total of 4 tournament teams. well, the big problem with that was that meant they had the same number of teams as the ACC which could not happen, because the ACC is the college basketball golden child, and no one is better than the ACC (please note, that's a sarcastic comment). Well, anyways, 2 of the MVC teams advanced, and quite strongly beat the teams they played, and the two that lost gave their competitors quite a game. so to all you MVC hating analysts out there, get off your high horse, and realize that college basketball does exist outside the ACC, and the mid-majors are ready to make a name for themselves.
