Compare Davidson, Wright State, Belmont, Eastern Kentucky, Central Conn., Jackson St., etc. to Purdue, Ariz. Duke, Indiana, Marquette, Vanderbilt, BYU, etc. Every once in a while, one of the minor conference teams is really good, but more often than not, thier best would be in the lower half (if not the bottom) of the power conferences.

Oh that BYU actually belonged in the same company with Purdue, et. al. But sadly they are almost always one and done in the big dance. (why is there no smilie for sobbing uncontrollably?)
