You can tell you're watching a mid-major conference championship game when...

(1) The sponsors for the tournament are used car lots that are next to the host school. If a player hits five threes they win a 1983 Ford Fiesta.

(2) There's more moms in the audience than hot girls.

(3) The championship trophy is made out of wood. (Thanks Big Sky! Everyone else does glass or chrome and you hand out pieces of art carved by Uncle Joe-Bob in Montana)

(4) Fans are actually confused as to which team to root for since this is the first time they've actually watched them play.

(5) The ninth-string college basketball announcers are doing the game ESPN (on a Tuesday Night, mind you) and they're actually just dudes that do infomercials for Nutri System.

(6) A hockey team is waiting in the wings to take the ice once the game is over.

(7) Every team knows they have to win the tourney to get in. Their RPI of 235 and key victories over Drake and Idaho just aren't going to get them that at-large bid. Nor does the NCAA voters know where the "Robert Smith Johnson School for Canadians" is located in America and therefore would have a tough time fitting them in a bracket.

(8) The gym its being played in is smaller than a high school gym.

(9) The guy with the body paint put the wrong colors of his team on.

(10) The word "bubble team" is mentioned after the winning team starts cutting down the nets.
