You're being a bit over dramatic, experience still wins the day in most cases. If WSU hits that shot, they could have easily went on to win the whole thing. The margin is that small.

It was a winnable game they just didn't get it done

I don't know about that. If anything this tournament has proved that experience matters.
And I'm not sure I'd rank this team ahead of Bird's Indiana State team in terms of mid majors... but that's another argument. |

San Diego State could very well win it all, so I wouldn't be so quick to write off mid-majors' chances yet.

It was a winnable game...against an 8 seed. Wichita State spent untold millions on their basketball program, from facilities to their coach. Good lord, Marshall's salary alone killed off the hopes and dreams of the rest of the Valley. We can't pay half of what they can pay. Their situation was the absolute best a mid-major can have, and it got them nowhere.

Also, it's a lot easier to grow your athletic program from practically nothing in basketball than it is in football. Boise State is pretty much the only one I can think of who has done it in football.

It was a good game. WSU could have won, but they didn't get it done. Too many errors in the 2nd half.
Don't be a drama queen. |

We're also just a couple years removed from Butler making back-to-back title games. We've also seen VCU and George Mason make it to the Final Four in the last 10 years.
Although I think it's fair to have concerns about the growth of these super conferences. That could be a legit concern. |

UK was the team that pulled the huge upset here. And this was a pretty big upset, UK was a mostly dogshit team with regards to their talent for most of the season.
