Its amazing to see people on here thinking it was ok to lose to a southland team.

This reflects more of a football mentality. In basketball, there are always mid-major teams that can compete with, and beat, a lot of "Power 5" teams. It's just the nature of the sport; it's easier for a small school to succeed, simply because you don't need that many good players. (Exhibit A: Indiana State with Larry Bird.) I haven't been following the sport that closely this season, so I can't say how good SFA is this year, but the fact they are from the Southland Conference has very little to do with how good they are or how they would compare to a "Power 5" team.
