EXTREMELY impressive were the #1 OVR seed in a 3 bid league. Not a ton of quality win opportunities but we just absolutely dominated everyone all year and earned this as a result. Now to win 6 more!!!

I guess my thread got deleted (?) so I’ll interject here because it’s not just an over-reaction.

They need to get rid of Val. She is a small time thinking commissioner. This is still a small time league- we need someone who thinks of it as something more than that.
 
If this weekend broke differently throughout the country, the BEast is a 5-6 bid conference.

St John's and Shall deserved in, for sure over MSU who, ONCE again gets in with 14 losses. Hope unc crushes them if they win their first.

You’re not impressed we got the number one overall seed in a three bid league?

I’m impressed that the committee payoffs are probably going to not be investigated for screwing what should be a 6 bid league in favor of some terrible programs from big football playing conferences.

It means that if you’re a team from a conference that sponsors FBS football, the committee will favor you over a team from a conference that doesn‘t. Why? Because the entire NCAA budget is funded by this tournament and the football conferences are threatening to pull out of it because they think their teams don’t get enough bids.

To illustrate. There are 32 at large bids. Five went to schools from non FBS conferences. 27 went to schools in FBS conferences.

A. DUH!
B. It is truly difficult to feel bad for St Johns or Seton Hall. The Johnnies didn’t beat anybody and lost to some pretty bad teams. They had a chance to redeem themselves, and I have no doubt CBS wanted them, by getting to the NOOB finals, but they didn’t do it. Seton Hall beat us. That’s about it and got blown out by St Johns. Both got what the deserved and should enjoy the NIT.
C. The NOOB has 2 absolutely awful teams. Georgetown, whose only league wins came against DePaul, and DePaul whose only league wins came against, well, nobody. When you finish 11-9 but 4 wins come against the absolute dreck of college basketball, people notice. It hurt the credibility of those bubble teams. Other leagues have bad teams but DePaul was the worst team in a major conference by a mile. Georgetown was simply awful, but looked like 1976 Indiana compared to those clowns.
 
"I'm probably just a little embarrassed for the league, for such a proud league," Hurley said of the Big East, which ended up with three tournament teams, including Marquette and Creighton. "The whole thing is just kind of a shell game. And it just really comes down to what the committee values." - Dan Hurley

So where's your team in the bracket?

There has been some recent discussion about expanding the size of the tournament and this discussion has had some push back. The larger (power football) conferences want to know that there will always be room for more than half (ideally in their exits 2/3) of their conference earning tournament credits in the dance.

This selection committee just sent a message that if other conferences want to be more than marginally represented they need to be in favor of expanding the tournament.

Once again, the BE needs us more than we need the BE.
 
Very concerned about the future of the league. The committee basically treated BE like it is the A10
