you right. Although they could sneak in with a win over Baylor, regardless of big12 winning title.

Maybe sneak in to the field. But they would need to beat west Virginia to get past us.

Today's performance was not something the committee will be anxious to cleave on to.

He said we had to go 4-0 to finish the season and win a BET game to get in.

There isn't much he says that shouldn't be taken with 1 to 2 lbs of salt.

If anyone thinks we've seem bad officiating, check out Fresno State and New Mexico. Technicals, jump ball called on a free throw attempt, FSU had one foul out with about 12 to play and as a team has 22 fouls to 16 made baskets. Just awful officiating.

I don't know if we will be in the tourney or not, but if we don't make it in the crow you eat will be a lot worse than the crow of those who said we are out.

Except one side has provided tangible facts and evidence, the other just throwing sh** at a wall with no idea what they're talking about.

JJJJJ....you do a great job with all of this thank you. That being said...tangible evidence and facts aren't always the be all end all..there have been many examples through the years of leaving teams out that seemed obvious they were in. Or like last year...all the tangible facts and evidence said no way was Cuse getting in..yet, they did. It's just when a human element is involved(like the committee), you can NEVER be 100% sure what they may or may not do.

At this point we should pretty much be rooting for the higher seeded teams in all P6 tournaments except for something like this Indiana Iowa game where we would prefer an Indiana win.

I think people have responded to this comment from you at least 30 times in the past couple weeks. I have nothing else to say.

Bite your nails until our name is called on Sunday. I don't know what else to tell you.

Yeah, Cal just beat Utah, don't like that.  They could be a stealer if they beat Oregon next.

You keep citing Cuse as your example, but you keep mentioning many examples.

By that logic, Utah could have also been a bid stealer if they had won.

Cal will have to win the PAC 12 tournament to get a higher seed than us.

Lunardi has us as a 10 playing miami which i think could potentially be a bad matchup for us

I think it is safe to say at this point that Iowa has no chance in hell they get an at-large bid. 

On the other side, Indiana has a nice path to win the B10 and are apparently playing well again.

And Cuse isn't a very good example. Who deserved to be in over them? They had a bad RPI but the rest of their resume was tournament worthy. An early signal that the committee was going away from RPI.

Normally they wouldn't have made it either. They benefited from both Louisville and SMU being ineligible to play in the tournament.

Well they weren't in the first four, so more like Tulsa and Wichita wouldn't have made it.

I had completely forgot they weren't even in the first four.  Yeah, that one still makes no sense.
