Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4280695, member: 1023"] We might as well add St Peter’s while we’re at it. And maybe Loyola of Chicago. The New Big East already has too many marginal teams. Adding a bunch of midmajors to get Gonzaga is just numb. Reality is that there aren’t 3 or 4 major programs out there. And adding a mid-major to a higher level league doesn’t change its trajectory automatically. I doubt anyone can say adding adding the 2 midwestern teams to the NOOB has really made them major powers, nor has it added a whole lot to the NOOB. They are more or less what they have always been. High mid-majors. Capable of winning a game in the tournament, Creighton won 2 last year, but getting further would be pretty shocking. And it isn’t like being in the NOOB helped that happen. They’ve won games before in the tourney. [/QUOTE]
