If we're going to compare Valpo to BYU, you could be correct, though if we asked folks around the country what they remember about BYU and Valpo in the last 10 years, I'd guess most would bring up Drew's buzzer beater.

Again, conference championships are a good thing. It tells me that BYU has been consistent over the last 10 years during the regular season. But if a team wants national attention, it has to win tournament games.
