I hope Furman jumps up to the 13 seed line.

That's the one team in Marquette's matchup range I'd rather just avoid.  They make a ton of 3s, are old, and don't turn the ball over.
VIOLENCE!

Yup! And I think they probably would, but I'd rather avoid that one if possible. 

Fielding the 68 has that as our matchup at this point in time.

They're also barely a top 200 defense in KP.

They're gonna have to guard us too.

Not to be a smart ass and in all seriousness, Furman has not played against MU defense.

I know, Marquette would be a major step up for them.  They did only lose to Penn State by 5 earlier this year.

If I'm being picky...which why not be picky...I'd just prefer a different team.

Eh, as long as Marquette doesn’t face Drake any mid major is fine with me.

You're a whimp. Give me Golden State in the first round, the Bucks in the E8 and the '96 Bulls in the championship.  ;D

Lol. Marquette hasn't won jack schitt in 10 years.  I will be nervous for every game they play in March whether it's against Georgtown or Kansas.

Seems like a dangerous precedent for the committee to set.

That certainly could open a can of worms. Although I suppose if it is strictly limited to cases where a conference officially admits that its refs blew a key call -- which is relatively rare, I would think -- it probably won't be too common. Still, I think it's a bad idea.

If this happens, the number of admitted bad calls will go through the roof. I'd do it if I were a commissioner. There is real money a stake and one could argue the commissioners would be violating their responsibility if they don't.

Does Rutgers get in and Wisconsin out? If so, I think it is a great idea.  ;D :P

I think Q2A games are undervalued in the selection process.

How is beating a crappy OSU team that is in the bottom 4 of the B1G a Q1 win?

I think a rule making Wisconsin ineligible for post-season play (which I would support) would have fewer potential unintended consequences.

It’s no secret that the committee can just do whatever they want. One pathetic example is that the NCAA suspended Boeheim and the committee didn’t consider the games he was suspended in which they lost several and probably would have been out.

This year, teams like Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, UNC, Michigan, ASU have had plenty of opportunities to seal bids down the stretch. All of them have failed.

I typically lean towards rewarding teams in HM conferences who have to play tough schedules, but I hope the committee rewards teams like Charleston, Nevada and Utah State this year.

I completely agree - there’s a lot of mediocrity on the bubble this year.
