Northern Iowa did. I don't know that anyone else in that conference is any good. CAA stunk it up for sure.

What is your opinion of expanding the tournament to 96?

LOL.
Well, I am one of those idiots....(sort of).

I pretty much agree with everything in there, and I do think expanding the tournament would damage the regular season in college basketball. If a team can't muster a winning record in their conference I don't think they really deserve to get in....and expanding the tournament would mean that a lot of those teams would get in.

For that (and all the other reasons listed) I too think expanding the tournament would be a terrible idea.

They were 7-3 overall and I think they were 8-2 against the number. Northern Iowa is clearly the class but the conference as a whole once again showed how tough they can be.

Who beat anybody that was worth a crap except UNI? Plus they got a bunch of home games. They're still a one-bid league if UNI wins Arch Madness.
