Northern Iowa is a good basketball team. They beat Iowa, who leads maybe the most competitive conference in the country in the Big 10. They went into LSU and beat an athletic LSU team, that is 10-2 in the SEC, which is always a feat. They just took out that same Bucknell team that beat Kansas. They can play. As can some of these other Mo. Val teams.

This is where people get stupid about these one year wonders. Every once in a while youll have a team come out of nowhere and play like they are on another planet while a marquee team plays mediocre at best and the top team falls, like KU did last year against Bucknell. I would bet all of my bank account on the fact that KU and other big time schools would beat these smaller schools 49/50 times.
