Who says there's no parity in college basketball?  One need look no further than this year's class of 65 dancers to see just how even the playing field has become.   Well, actually, you might learn more by looking at who isn't in 2010's big dance.  UCLA? UNC? Indiana?  Arizona?  Illinois?  UConn???  See: NIT.  Oh, how the mighty have fallen.  Here is a look at the ten greatest college basketball traditions of all time, four of which will be watching the madness from their couches this year.
