Watching UCLA v Washington. Some of us think the MAC is down...this is terrible basketball.

PAC 10 is a really disappointing conference.

You might think they're terrible, but the PAC will probably get four teams in come March, if not five.

And we all know that it will be a sham.

You think this year is bad? Last year was something to forget about. What did they get? One or two teams in?

This year they are a little bit better, but hopefully the conference tournament knocks a couple of them out and opens up some more space for mid-majors.

I think they'll only get two, maybe three in.  Az, Colo & UCLA are top 40 RPIs and that's usually the dropping point.  Oregon probably has to be the conference champ to get in. 

The MWC has supplanted the Pac-12 as the major conference west of the Great Plains.  They had three top 25 teams at one point, and a fourth -- unbeaten (at the time) Wyoming -- hovering just outside.  They have four teams with top 25 RPIs -- NM (3), Colo St. (14). UNLV (23) & SDSU (24).

Oregon will get in. Having beaten Zona, and being ranked at one point in the top 10. If anything, i'm disappointed in what are normal powerhouses: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, UNC, Texas, and West Virginia. Also, there has been a bunch of low basketball games recently where the scores are like 25-23 going into halftime. Poor shooting, not good defense. 

Right now, Final Four: Michigan, Duke, Indiana, and Miami. Yes, Miami.

I hope this about most "major" conference tournaments.  I truly wish they'd make a rule in the selection process for at-large that won't allow anyone in with a sub .500 conference record.  After last night there were plenty of comments about the Illini being "in", which I think would be a disgrace, no matter how much I'm rooting for Groce to succeed.
