Anybody an ESPN.com Insider than can tell us who the 14 teams are?  You can only see UNLV, but while I know we're not listed and I just wondered who was listed.

I have to say that Jay Bilas is a joke.  Not because OHIO is not on the list.  He just seems to be as disconnected from the mid-major college basketball scene as just about any ESPN analyst.

Yeah I noticed that ESPN had an article about Marshall changing the balance of power in the C-USA.  For a conference without alot of real accomplishments lately outside of Memphis and the defection of its best teams to BCS conferences they get alot of pub still.

The fact that he includes Marshall on this list shows how little he is paying attention.  His thoughts on the Herd:

The Herd have two truly outstanding players in DeAndre Kane and Damier Pitts. What sets this team apart is offensive rebounding. Marshall goes and gets the ball, which means extra possessions. Dennis Tinnon is one of the better offensive rebounders in the country. It will be interesting to see if Marshall gets legit respect from the NCAA selection committee. With wins over Cincinnati, Belmont and Iona, it should.

With losses to Ohio and Akron in Huntington, it shouldn't.
