...is to see the underdogs pull off the BIG upsets. Big reason the NCAA
hoops tournament is so popular this year.
 
 
 
The biggest argument people throw around is that Quinnipiac would have no
hope whatsoever of beating any first round opponent in the tournament.
 
 
Kinda like Mankato having no hope of winning a playoff game in Grand Forks.
 
 
Simply put: If the NCAA designated the MAAC as a D1 conference, they should
be able to participate in the championship. Given that not every team in
the MAAC has full D1 status, it makes me wonder why the heck the NCAA made
it D1 in the first place.
