Texas Tech and Oklahoma have in common the fact that they both lost to teams from the Southland Conference. Now your probably saying those games were just flukes and that the SLC is a joke. Lets look at the past. 2006, Northwestern State beats Iowa in the first round of the NCAA tourny. A 14 over 3 upset. 2007 TAMU-CC almost upsets Wisconsin. This season(2007-2008) Sam Houston St. beat Texas Tech and is currentley 8-0 with wins over teams from more respected conference, like at Saint Louis from the A-10. Texas-Arlington is 8-0 with a key win at a solid Witchita St. team. Stephen F. Austin 7-1 with a victory at Oklahoma. The conference has a 59-38 record as of December 10th. Look I'm not saying that this is like the Big 12 or ACC but it should get a little respect for the quality of teams they put out on the floor. It would be nice to see maybe 2 or 3 teams from this conference go to the NCAA tournament. And maybe if only one goes don't make them a 15 or 16 seed and make them have to have to play a dominant team in the first round. This in my opinion is one of the better mid-major conference but yet they never get multiple teams in March Madness like the A-10 or Missouri Valley Conference.

Let me know what you think.
