Mid-Majors Strike Back

After all of the complaining by certain national "experts" last week when the bracket was unveiled, the NCAA tournament selection committee certainly look like geniuses this week. Four reminaing schools come from Mid-Major Conferences. Five if you count Conference USA as a Mid-Major these days.

Currently, the Colonial Athletic Association has more teams alive in the tournament (George Mason) than the Big Ten (zero).

The Missouri Valley Conference has as many schools alive (Bradley, Wichita Stae) as the ACC (Boston College, Duke).

The fun will continue for Mid-Majors at least until the Elite Eight; with mid-majors George Mason and Wichita State playing each other Friday night, one of them is going to play for the Region Title on Sunday.

One of the mid-majors (more than likely Gonzaga) is going to make it to Indianapolis. It'll be a trip to see Billy Packer call that game...
