I can't prove any "Collusion" between ESPN and the NCAA committee, but ESPN -- with it's financial interest in the SEC Network -- toots the horn about the conference and it's teams so incessantly that you wonder if it takes roots with the committee.

Ohio most certainly should've made the tourney. And I wonder what would've happened if Penn had beaten Princeton in the Ivy finals (it was a close game). Princeton had "at large" qualifications and might've knocked out one of the final four.

BTW, Indiana did prove its mettle with the win over Texas. They were way to short (of stature) against Oregon. Wise is a wing playing power forward for them. Still, valiant effort by Patberg, Penn (who has improved remarkably) and the Hoosiers.
