SMU a 6?

[BugsyCT]

Cincy also a 6. Stronger OOC schedule?

It was easy to predict and a signal at just how impossible it is to ever sniff another Final Four out of this league.

Just absurd. 12 in polls. 12 in KenPom.

It's just a mix of anger and sadness at this point. They deserve better.

The polls mean nothing but that 12 in KenPom should matter a lot. The best part is that the bracket was done hours before the game ended and the result didn't matter.

But they lost to Boise, Mich and USC and beat basically no one out of the garbage AAC

Thus, maybe a 6 is about right or even high

They lost 1 game since November by 2 points to Cincy. They are #12 in the country, the NCAA screwed them again because they play in the AAC.

Their schedule is not much better, lost to Butler and Rhode Island when ranked. The OOC is all we "Americans" have until our league gets better., which is the only thing that could work well. Get 4-5 ranked teams in the league and all problems start to be solved.

I hate Mick Cronin. His yapping got us sent to Sacramento.

 

[Robertelamin]

Maryland is trash.

Here is @7774 to remind us that conference affiliation plays zero role in selection Sunday and a team's ceiling in the postseason.

Go on.

We did win at Iowa State who is a 5 seed and won the Big 12 tournament. Also beat Xavier.

 

[Robertelamin]

LOL at Syracuse

 

[patrick]

Lol no cuse

 

[FartMan69]

Who cares. Syracuse didn't get in. Good job by the committee

 

[BugsyCT]

Cuse's bubble burst.

Good.

 

[jibsey]

Did we screw Cuse?

 

[Robertelamin]

BUT THEY BEAT DUKE!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Love that our win at MSG essentially burst the orange bubble

 

[superjohn]

Vandy a 9 seed with 15 losses.

 

[BugsyCT]

Did we screw Cuse?

Absolutely.

 

[metsfan2323]

Well they left out Cuse so all is forgiven. LOL

 

[CTBasketball]

Vandy a 9 seed with 15 losses.

Makes sense right!?

 

[jibsey]

Old Big East NIT possibilities, us, Cuse and Pitt?

 

[Bryan Lord]

Can't wait to here JB's quotes about this

 

[The Viking]

Perhaps Aresco can get the Technical tonight that Ollie should have gotten last night

 

[Travelman6]

Cuse did not get in, so thumbs up to the committee for that.

MSU not only getting in, with 14 losses, but getting a 9 is a joke. Vandy getting in as a 9 with 15 losses is also a joke.

Illinois St deserved to get in with a 12 seed IMO. SMU was screwed. Those are my initial complaints.

Duke was gifted a 2, of course.

They need to schedule better. Everyone in this conference needs to schedule better.
