Pretty good article on cbssportsline.com today:
My favorite line:
It's all in how you see your gritty, low-scoring basketball. Texas A&M beat Texas at the buzzer 46-43 last week. Pundits fell over themselves claiming the Aggies were in. Northern Iowa and SIU played to a 40-40 regulation tie in the Saturday semis, and suddenly it's a sign that the Valley can't play.
Exactly, Iowa won a game (vs. Wisconsin...another NCAA team) by 15 this weekend and only scored 59 points. Low scoring in the BCS conferences is a sign of tough defense and low scoring in the Valley is a sign of offensive ineptitude. At least that's what the 'experts' would have you believe. We know better. LSU knows better. Bucknell knows better. Indiana and Purdue know better. Sooner or later...people all over the country will know better.
Of the 50 starters in this league this past weekend, 37 return next season. Think the Valley is going away? Don't bet on it. All of the teams could be BETTER next year.
