A couple things though: this actually kinda shocked me, I didn't think that OSU was going to do squat this year (compete maybe, but not this good) until Oden and the stud recruiting class came in next year. I actually thought Michigan State was going to be the tops of the Big Ten, but they ended up going like .500 in coference play.</p>
<p>I still wish the MAC would get some love. Kent gets in if they win the MAC tourney, but if they lose, they are out! How does the Missouri Valley conference get like 4 or 5 bids? Are Wichita State, Creighton, and Missouri State really that much better than Kent State or Akron? The MAC teams have better records than all three. Plus why does Southern Illinois get a free pass every year? This year because they won the MVC conference tourney yes, but four at large bids over the last four years? Kent went to the elite 8 that year (2002) but never got an automatic bid like SIU. This is pure conferencism! Kent would be where SIU is right now, and possibly could be where Gonzaga is, if the coaches would stay and the tournament selection committee would be such dolt heads</p>
