Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 5050635, member: 889"] I could see programs like Creighton or Marquette (or Villanova if they get back to their prior level) getting there in a few years. If we're both perennially around the top 10 and playing meaningful high-profile games with conference titles, regular season or tournament, on the line, and even games with national implications, that could do it. The fact is, we've left former conference rivals like Syracuse, Georgetown, St. John's in the dust. We spent like 6-7 years in a conference without compelling rivalries (sorry, Cincy, SMU, Houston, Memphis). We've had good games over the decades against other nationally-prominent programs -- Duke, Gonzaga, UNC -- but those aren't regular enough. [/QUOTE]
