This didn't go the way I intended.

Yes, NC State AD shouldn't have complained publicly. But my point was in comparing their profile to SJU's the only thing SJU had going for them were their wins over us. NC State's computer number blew SJU's out of the water ssssoooo...

Wins over MU >>>>> Good computer numbers.

I think that shows the committee had a lot of respect for Marquette. That's nice.

I don't know if the numbers backed this up, but record against Q1 opponents seemed to be a gigantic factor in seeding in the NCAA Tournament.  I'm guessing SJU, in part due to their wins over Marquette, had a better record against Q1 opponents.

The committee chairman, in his interview on CBS, mentioned Q1 wins several times. I'm not sure he ever mentioned the NET unless he was specifically asked. So I think you are right, wades.

Seems it is not easy to walk and chew gum at the same time.
We have two separate issues.
On the important issue, what goes on behind closed doors isn't worth squat.
We are not looking for a secret heart felt apology, we want respect.

NC State was 0-7 against the top 5 in the ACC.  7 of their conference wins were against the bottom 5.  Combined with their 353 or 353 non-conference schedule they didn't deserve a bid. Their best wins were home against Auburn and a neutral site game against Penn State and their best ACC win was home against Syracuse while they lost at Wake Forest and at home to Georgia Tech.

SJU had wins over MU, Nova and Seton Hall (should have been two) along with a road win at Georgetown and 2 over Creighton and neutral site wins against VCU and Georgia Tech (who beat NC State).  Their worst loss of the season was at home against DePaul when Ponds was out injured.

So no, it wasn't a "tribute" to MU anymore than Minnesota getting in was a "tribute" to Bucky.

I thought I was in the same situation, but I covered myself with tin foil and I fashioned some antennae out of old pipe cleaners, and now I am picking up the signals loud and clear.
