We meet again. You are right and you are wrong. You are correct in the fact that the United Basketball Conference isn't really a conference. It is just a scheduling alliance to make things easier on the participating teams. You are wrong about the Great West, though. Although eventually the teams will probably get into bigger and better conferences, it is an actual, recognized conference (and one that isn't too shabby, if I do say so myself).
Oh yeah, and I garfunkled your mother.
