Yeah, my point never was that the MVC is consistently as good as the Big 12. This year they're probably closer than a lot of people would like to admit though. And I think that happens every year, there's a conference or two that legitimately is pretty talented that gets shafted for some .500ish teams from a conference like the Big 12. If a team like a Nebraska gets in over someone like Southern Illinois it would be pretty disgusting, regardless of what the Big XII homers here say. Sometimes the reason there aren't as many of those upset stories is because a "smaller" conference only gets a team or two in the tournament. The MVC is usually pretty good anyway but this year has been a pretty special year for them, I hope they get rewarded. The MAC had a year like this a few years back and only got one team in, Kent State, and they almost made it to the Final Four.
