Making the Sweet 16 in basketball is no harder than it is to make a Super regional in baseball. Basketball has 335 teams, baseball 280- but once you get outside the top 100 teams, the rest are pretty much garbage. Bundy, you dont have the northern teams being good in baseball, but you have more good teams in the south and west than basketball. Talk competition all you want, but the power lies with the power conferences. It's been over 20 years since a non-BCS team won the basketball title. And in the last 10 years, the numbers are about even with mid-majors making the Sweet 16 in basketball and Supers in baseball. You're telling me it's harder for Duke to make the Sweet 16 playing their 1st 2 games in Greensboro- against a nobody and then a 8-9 seed-than it is for State to go to GaTech and win that regional to make a Super? Thats a crock of shite

Did you miss the thread where 90% of the people on here disagreed with this?

Power conference teams are always going to rule, but Butler has played in the final game 2 years in a row and half of the Final 4 this year was Butler and VCU.

Also in baseball, the so called "power conference" teams are cut by a third b/c the Big 10 and Big East suck.

So not only are you competing against many more mid majors in basketball, but more "major" conference teams as well
