Evil one,
As the new Selection Committee Chair, would this be your answer when Bruce Pearl asks, "Can you tell us why and how you left out the Wisconsin Badgers?"

Is anyone going to acknowledge that Iowa is playing??!!
Brad vs Fran. Should be interesting.
Nebraska wins two and Iowa beats Clemson then upsets Florida, winner of Iowa/Nebraska to great 8!!!! That’s crazy.

Does Miami deserve to be in without a Q1 game on their schedule?
And only one coach has never made it to the second weekend of the tourney.
That's what 31-1 will getcha these days.
I think so. I think First 4 is fair for them. They tried to schedule P5 games and no one wanted to play them. Auburn at 17-16 definitely did not deserve to be in...
I just like our positioning here, with a coach who thrives in tournament play. Let’s have a weekend.
Yah, it's a shame a 17-16 team can't make the NCAA tourney. How they were even among the first 4 out is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Barely .500 and you're cryin'? Damn . . .
That's what gives me hope. The guys will learn a lot from his guidance.
Doesn't mean they can't get upset. And what looks easiest on paper doesn't always work out that way. I guess that's why they play the games--at least that's what somebody told me once . . . or maybe it was twice.
I hear that no Q1 team would schedule them, so what are they supposed to do--go 31-1?
The prospect of them playing Kentucky in StL is kind of funny. Hopefully it’s a Kentucky home court crowd.
I'm impressed with that cool vibe. Why get all excited about something you had no control over. You knew you were in. Now go get some wins.
Kind of goes with the not-being-satisfied-with-“good” vibe.
Thats a tough match-up for Wisconsin... playing a 30-4 team.
Do you know happy I am to not have to ask when the NIT Selection Show is tonight?!?!Anyone else think they forgot about us for a second there? Just me? Ok….
Thought conference tournaments didn’t matter, yet Purdue goes from a 7 seed in the B1G and 18th ranked in the AP to a 2 seed in this tournament.
South Region against Clemson. I was all ready to assume the game would be in Greeneville, SC and get mad, but it being in Tampa isn't as bad.
Coach is already planning for Clemson.
Yeah definitely had the look of "that's not who I wanted to see".................
Immediately the wheels start churning... love it.
I was hoping for an Iowa vs Idaho tilt….along with a Miami vs. Miami……oh well.
Iowa barely gets mentioned. Lower seeds get talked about, but not the Hawks.
Cause the dude is already planning on spending 60-straight hours of watching/studying gamefilm of Clemson, even as his team's name came up.
What would they talk about?
We were 4-9 in quad one games
And really faltered the last few weeks of the season
Oh I don’t know….maybe about the game in general, and who they thought would win? Or if the winner could give Florida a run?
Why talk about 11 seeds or lower?
They aren’t talking about Clemson either. It’s as if the game doesn’t even exist.
Committee chair said SMU was last team in the tournament and they’re in a play in. Case closed
I'm off Thursday and work Friday.
It's as simple as that.
IF the Hawks' game start is in either of the 3rd or 4th windows - IE, a ~5:30p-ish or an ~7:30/8p-ish tip time - then everything will be golden.
If not, I'll have a recorded game to watch.
Oh. Im betting way more people have Fridays off than Thursdays, and more people than that have neither off.
Yep, missed a nice story line of a 1st year coach with a Drake team making the dance.
