Mid-major madness

The Valley is insane. Go try and figure that conference out. NIU gets crushed at home, SIU loses to Evansville, but Bradley (the crusher) and Mo State are playing great ball now. It will get very interesting, but it still looks like 4 or 5 bids with the seeds 7-12, and 7 is generous, unless it is Wichita State or NIU winning the conference tournament.

In other areas, I am looking forward to the Nevada, Utah State game. Should be interesting. Nevada is almost a lock and playing more for seed while Utah State can really use this game. Go Pack.

Now before those of you point out that I came out of the Big 10, that holds in everything except basketball (UM bball with Steve Fisher, enough said), baseball and hockey (I played ball at Cornell, and had a couple friends on the puck team). Cornell in the Frozen Four!!!
