We can only hope the conference improves and maybe we can see upsets of this big matchups in the next few years.

Its hard for me to understand how a group of mid-size/large State University cannot be a top 15 conference. There should be no reason while the CAA/A10 are so ahead of the AE in RPI every year. Now that UNH has a pulse our league needs to create a long-term strategy

Maybe this is just my opinion and maybe it's harsh but ... in most cases, we're talking about programs with little to no tradition, many in terrible gyms and ordinary facilities, frigid weather in the middle of nowhere or in crummy cities, playing in front of sparse crowds, amid a population that couldn't care less about college sports, and in states/regions that aren't rich in basketball talent.
