Eh, Connie, it might this year...and possibly again in the future. However, that is more an exception than the expected, no?

The WCC got one less bid than the ACC. That should be enough to quell all the whining and crying and complaining. When San Diego and Temple won their conference tournaments, that would have automatically eliminated a bid from those tier conferences in past seasons...as it is both Gonzaga and St. Mary's and Xavier (deserved to be in anyway obviously) and a marginal St. Joseph's team all made it anyway. If anything I was surprised to see the Valley (MVC) and the Colonial only get one bid each...those are the conferences that have had teams (Creighton, Southern Illinois, VCU, George Mason) make big waves by actually winning some games over qulaity teams and/or pushing them to the brink in previous years.
By the way, can someone tell Billy Packer to shut his bald fat pie-hole? I mean we all know he wants the winner of the ACC tournament to be automatically delcared the NCAA champion, but the incessant ACC whining really does get old. Wisconsin was only a 3, and not a word about that.

The Valley had a down year where one team dominated the conference. Illinois State lost out on any chance of getting into the Dance by getting drilled by Drake in their title game. I can see it bouncing back next year w/ 2-3 bids. I think the multiple bids from the Sun Belt & WCC also hurt the Colonial & Valley from getting a a few more bids.
In terms of Bill Packer, I hope he retires soon. He is completely out of touch w/ the current scape of college bball. You would think that George Mason's run from '06 would have taught him something.
