What it speaks volumes about is how weak the BSC was this year.Well making the tournament and not even being considered good enough for an outright 16 seed speaks volumes.
That is the whole point. Those teams you mention couldn’t get it done. It was a weak conference this year.If EWU, UM, Weber or UNCo would've done what they were supposed to do the BSC rep would've been right in the traditional 13-15 seed. The league wasn't much different than in year's past. Hell Weber State beat a damn good St. Mary's team early on before they got inside their own heads and started playing that stagnant offense game and ole defense that they played at the end of the year.
That's a weak argument, there were many upsets in conference tournaments this year. NC state got hot and won the ACC tournament beating UNC and Duke. That doesn't mean UNC sucks! That's just basketball. The Cat's got hot and deservedly won the Big Sky, but at 17-17 from the Big Sky they get a 16 seed of courseThat is the whole point.

I just think the conference was weak this year. It lost a lot of good talent last year through graduation and transfers. Yes, the Cat's, with a very mediocre team, did get hot in the tournament.That's a weak argument, there were many upsets in conference tournaments this year.
