Davidson had a chance to get in, and it couldn't even get to the SoCon title. I don't want to see a team like that in the Tournament just because it has a guy who takes 30 shots a game.

Right, but he sure is fun to watch!! (good points on Utah...they are a very strange team. Their RPI is extremely high I guess based on wins over Gonzaga and LSU at home plus splitting with several of the decent teams in their conference. This is a team that lost at home to Southwest Baptist...lost to a middle of the pack Big Sky team that went 13-19 (Idaho State...I went to that game and thought they looked absolutely horrible...Idaho State dominated them despite the fairly close score....Idaho State played the other regional powers at home too (Utah State and BYU and I thought Utah was by far the worst of the 3...by far...but you can't really judge anything by one game I realize. But it is mine and probably eneryone else's opinion that they are an incredibly weak 5 seed in this tourney...you win the regular season and conference tourney in the MWC you're not bad...they're very strange though.)
