Seeing as ISU manhandled Minnesota in the NIT, and other P6 schools neglected to schedule games against them to allow them more Q1 wins. Are P6 schools afraid of scheduling games against dominant Mid Major schools for fear of being "embarrassed" when they loose? It seems as if P6 schools view loosing to a MM as an insult. The SEC went 1-6 in the NCAA tournament this year after their commissioner was quoted as saying that mid majors "Should not be receiving their auto bids". While he did print a "retraction" statement, we all seem to realize the sentiment here.
ISU's run and beating two P5 teams reminds me of our NIT run when we beat St. Marys and Florida State. Obviously the better Mid's can more than handle the mid-pack P5s and more. They just won't play unless forced to by seeding. Nothing will change.

I'm pretty sure Robbie Avila will be throwing out the first pitch at the next St Louis Cardinals home stand. 🙂
