Miami (OH) is a lock to make the NCAA Tourney. And I think they have a good chance to not have to play in Dayton either.

What I don't want to see are sub .500 conference record teams receive at large bids. 7-11 in your league is disqualifying for me.

I'm good with them getting in. They're going to get killed though

Conference records are irrelevent.

It's been a rough week for the "expand the tournament" crowd.

I'm not saying they won't be in the Tournament.  I'm saying they're awful and I don't need to see a 6 seed smoke them when I could get a competitive 6 vs. 11 game with a team that played more than 1 team in the top 125 in NET this year.  They're not a good basketball team.

To you maybe, but not for me.

Your opinion is a poor one.

Yes.

Miami OH

Played 0 Q1 games
2-0 in Q2
11-0 Q3
15-1 Q4
(3-0 D2 which doesn't count)

9-0 in games decided by one possession or in OT

93rd in Kenpom
87th in T rank

33rd in WAB (before today's loss)
21st SOR (also before today's loss)

340 SOS
364 Non-con SOS

Qualitative metrics are poor.  SOS is poor.  Quad wins are poorly distributed.

WAB and SOR are good.

Quite an unusual resumé. No idea what the committee will do with them.  But they are weak in criteria the committee historically favors, unless WAB and SOR carry the day.

Miami OH should be out. If they truly tried to play a tougher schedule, then that sucks for them and wonder what can be done about it in the future. They're not a tournament team this year despite the record.

I do get this argument and I think if they'd lost even one game in the regular season I'd say leave them out. But 31-0 has to count for something, imo.
