Every year one of the biggest questions as the tournament rolls around is how the top mid-majors would fare against the big-conference schools. This year the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee has kept us from finding out.Only six mid-majors made the tournament as at-large selections. Two of the mid-major bubble teams that got left out, Missouri State and Drexel, had strong cases, and you can't blame their fans for thinking they got jobbed.
And even beyond the paucity of mid-majors in the Big Dance, the way the bracket is pieced together keeps us from seeing mid-majors take on big schools. In the first round, Nevada plays Creighton, Southern Illinois plays Holy Cross and Butler plays Old Dominion. I'd rather see those teams play big-conference schools, so we could answer that eternal question about how the mid-majors stack up. (I especially wanted to see Nevada's Nick Fazekas play against a talented big-school front court.)
Overall, if you're a fan of the mid-majors, you can't be real happy with the Selection Committee right now.
