That is exactly what makes it tougher to get in IMO. In mediocre leagues anybody including those not projected in NCAA can win conference tourneys stealing at large bids. Gotta root for all conference champions to win the conference tourneys. | |

I think the media will use that very strongly. Posted via VolNation Mobile | |

| We also need no teams to get hot and win their conference tourny like Georgia did a few years ago. Want as many at large spots open for us. | |

| Miss St winning today didn't help us. If USCjr could've upset them then I think Miss St would've been in a world of hurt. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Good simple rule of thumb: Whenever you see a ranked team playing an unranked team, cheer for the ranked team. | |

| In 2009 (and now), MSU had the easy-street schedule of facing all of the West teams twice. I wonder what it will look like next year, when we don't automatically face every "East" team twice. | |

I'm announcing my candidacy for driver of the Tennessee bandwagon. The Vols deserve serious consideration as one of 37 best at-large teams. | |
