[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1300024, member: 26283"] In addition to overlapping with the Big 10, as they do in football, in basketball they also overlap with the Missouri Valley and Horizon (used to be the old Midwest City Conference) conferences, both conferences with stronger traditions and several periods of being really good. And now the A-10 and Big East partially overlap it as well. I have to wonder if trying to be a "big time" football conference holds them down in basketball since all those other conferences besides the Big 10 are basically basketball only (or FCS). [/QUOTE]
