Idk if they got hosed, but I posted this in the NIT thread. SDSU missed with a #41 RPI. Nit bubble going to be very strong (MU is #110)

Butler is in too. Half the conference.

We must be in the other half.

Good

I think this is the worst job the committee has ever done. Teams like:

Syracuse
Vanderbilt
Tulsa

Have no business being in the tournament. Teams like Monmouth/Valparaiso/San Diego St/St. Marys got screwed.

They way over ranked the ACC.

They said Seton Hall was the last team in. Did I hear that right?

Yes. They're a 6 seed. And won the auto bid.

I like IU v KY with all the drama about the home and home going away

+10000 How the hell does Cuse get in with a 72 RPI?? Tulsa with two losses to Memphis and gets in??

MerrittsMustache · « **Reply #39 on:** March 13, 2016, 05:59:47 PM »

Is it largely because we have more metrics to rank teams or does the Selection Committee keep getting worse and worse?

forgetful · « **Reply #40 on:** March 13, 2016, 06:01:23 PM »

The committee basically said performance on the court doesn't matter (with Syracuse), just have your coach sit out a while because of violations and we'll ignore all those losses and completely ignore the fact that with your coach you went, 1-5 down the stretch.

drewm88 · « **Reply #41 on:** March 13, 2016, 06:02:48 PM »

Those selections were as bad as the show.

Am I crazy or did they skip the analysis of the third region? Adjustment to the leaked bracket and the vitriol online?

In that case, they should have ignored all of Michigan St. losses when Valentine was out and given them a 1 seed.

They meant the last matchup being announced, not the last team in. Last team in would be in the 11/11 matchups.

I agree. They were completely inconsistent with what they valued. I agree with the ESPN reaction, that they basically said it doesn't matter what you do out of conference, it only matters what you do in the power conferences. If you are not in a power conference, then win your tournament or sit. Its absurd.

Compare, Syracuse/Vanderbilt/Tulsa to our performance against top teams. We compare very favorable with the exception of RPI. The point is that Syracuse/Vandy/Tulsa are closer to fringe NIT teams than fringe NCAA teams.

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 13, 2016, 06:07:26 PM »

Cuse getting in was awful.

Cuse getting in without the play in is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my lifetime...not just in college hoops.

Idiots. All of them.

Another thing. They claim that they do not try to set games up, but:

The decision to make A&M a 3 seed and UK a 4 seed is idiotic and would only be done if they were trying to set up:

Texas v. A&M; UK v. IU

tower912 · « **Reply #47 on:** March 13, 2016, 06:13:06 PM »

Michigan? Vanderbilt? Syracuse? Pretty sure Mac was talking about a couple of these teams going to Vegas.

Just curious, what seeds do you think those 2 teams should've gotten?

Flip them. UK just beat them head to head to win the SEC tournament.

Kentucky: RPI 11
A&M: RPI 18

Add to it that IU should probably be a 4, and that Texas should be a 7 and there is a lot that seems to be "set up".
