Right now, Florida Atlantic, who has only lost 3 games all season is up 10 in the Final Four game against SDSU, and they have dispatched everyone in their way without it looking like a fluke. Since I didn't even know who FAU was prior to their run, I was looking at their league. They were the only team from Conference USA to get a bid. But, I noticed the second and third place teams in Conf USA got NIT bids, and were both in the final game of the NIT. If FAU goes on to win the NCAA, Conf USA would have swept the NCAA and the NIT. Has any "mid-major" league ever done that?
