To this year's discussion of strong teams from not-so-strong conferences-- MTSU, BGSU, maybe Western Kentucky-- it's probably time to add, once again, Green Bay.

The Phoenix, whose streak of invites to the Big Dance got rudely interrupted last year, have returned to their winning ways in the Horizon League: last night's win at Wright State saw three starters in double figures, plus nine for reserve Kari Harty, whom coach Borseth dubbed "the player of the game."

If you're looking at schedules with an eye to at-large bids, UWGB might, or might not, deserve one: their best wins are Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, but their three losses came against DePaul (by one painful point), at K-State, and at Marquette.
