conferences like ours for trying to schedule tough games outside their conference because that is something they can control. We were the beneficiaries of that in 2014, which most of us have forgotten by now. We had a tough non-conference schedule that year, but the bracketologists had us either barely getting in or being left out. Instead we got in pretty comfortably with a 10 seed. Too bad that was also the year Kyle Collinsworth blew out his knee in the WCC tournament championship game.
