I pretty much agree Gunny. For the smaller conferences the only way for them to get a team into the NCAA tourney is for them to win their conference tourney. And you see it every year... a team can go 13-1 in their conference and get upset in their conference tourney by a team who went 5-9 in the regular season. So that bad team gets in over the team who dominated all year. I don't like it.

And in Gonzaga's case, if they had lost last night, Loyola would have been in the NCAA tourney with a 12-18 record. And they would have bumped out one of the 18-11 or 17-12 teams who play all the toughest competition all year.
