WKU is by far the best Basketball Program that is not in a top 5 conference as a matter of fact our results below show we have been one of the top programs in the country. By saying that we are not putting down our current conference (heck UNT tried to go to CUSA) I think each school is always looking to new opportunities. But unlike a South Florida that is now in the big east they don't even come close to our winning tradition. This is why WKU Fans hate the MID MAJOR label there is nothing MID MAJOR about the stats below...
