Joes final last four in last four out

[BigWillie]

Wyoming was a dumb play in. That was the one I thought we should jump.

[Rudy]

Not even one of the FOUR play in games. No justification for that bullshit.   We just need to stack our OOC and play our way through conference. Nothing matters except the conference tournament.  At least by stacking our OOC we get experience playing the popular schools.

I’m convinced the committee bases selections off blindly throws darts at a board for the remainder selections….

Rutgers, Wyoming, and Michigan are some head scratchers.

And to be clear, I don't think UH is the 3rd best team.  Just pointing out how useless the NET is

Then why have it though? If their NET is #3, have them be the 3 seed... otherwise just stick to polls if you're going to base it on opinion. They created a formula to try to remove bias only to not like the results of the formula and do what they want anyways. I wouldn't be upset if there was no RPI/NET to tell me we're better than other teams getting in.

You can't look at just the win/loss record.  Michigan has a really good NET, I figured they'd get in.

Clearly NET only means something if it needs to mean something. Therefore, it means nothing. A basketball team 3 games over .500 deserves and has earned the right to sit at home.

Dayton at a 54-54 rank gets the last spot out? 🧐

Not just UNT is getting robbed.

[CMJ]

I mean, it sucks but you people are being over the top.  Every year the Committee makeup is slightly different, but they always view SOS very highly and when teams from the Big 10 and Big East or whoever get like 15 games to get quality wins it just makes it really tough for schools like us to get in as at large.  We basically have to be almost perfect like the year MTSU snuck in as an at-large.

When is the selection for the NIT? Tonight? Time and channel?

Michigan 17-14 record? 8th in the Big 10 gets in?

Such trash. Big10 teams get bounced early last year, but the still get the benefit of the doubt year after year.

Sure. But I think 18-12 type record should be minimum. 17-14 is just too little too late. Gives the wrong impression, sends the wrong message.

I'm not saying I LIKE it.  I just understand the reality.

Also getting an 11 seed with that record reeks of favoritism. Why aren't they a 14/15?

Of course. But even Bama getting in and ATM being left out is mind blowing. 19-13 vs 23-12 and both had 9-9 conference records while ATM made it to the finals in their tourney. I just feel like this is nothing but a larger scale CFB playoff, the committee can't wait to hose the little guy unless they're caught dead to rights with no other option.

It is now.  Be thankful.  We have more games for you to ignore until we lose and then you can come on here and bitch.

Over the top?  No, the NET should mean something because that is supposedly why they created it.  Instead, it is a system to keep schools in the "smaller" conferences interested and excited about their opportunity.  Why have it if they are going to essentially ignore it just so Juwan Howard can punch someone else, or Rutgers can get their ass handed to them while collecting a check.

F-it.  Let's go win the NIT.

[CMJ]

I believe they created the RPI too, but it was always just a tool.  One tool among many.

[Mean Green Matt]

Has anyone considered that the reason we aren’t in the tourney is because WE lost to two 100+ NET teams in the final week of the season?
