I believe it was 3 years ago, when Oshkosh was preseason number 1 in the nation. ... But hey, I believe they beat some team from Stevens Point, and Whitewater to go to the Elite 8 that year. But besides that, they were the "man" in the conference that year, due to the preseason ranking.
Mr. Downtown, you might want to get your facts straight before you talk about a team being "the man." UWSP won conference running away in '02-'03, with a record of 14-2, winning the league by 3 games. And sure, Oshkosh may have been the preseason #4 pick, but according to that preseason ranking, they should have ENDED as the #4 team in the country... they didn't, they lost in the elite 8. Heck, they weren't even the best team in the conference, or the second best team. They were 4 games behind Point, and even though they made it farther than Point in the NCAA's, Point's opponent still made it farther (so ).
Any way you slice it, you really don't have history (at least recent history) on your side. Point has dominated the conference the last three seasons. Any team that would step up to challenge them in that would be travelling on uncharted ground.
Gosh I wish the season started sooner.
