Question is is Murray St gonna get an at-large bid if they lose their tourney? The answer is 99% yes.Belmont is a longshot bubble team at #65, Q1 1-3, Q1/2/3, 8-6, they have to steal the OVC bid. Winning @ Q1 63 St Louis by 5, and Q1 losses @ 17 LSU by 30, Home 23 Murray St by 22, @ 23 Murray St by 33 isn't much of a resume. They have wins vs Iona, Chattanooga and Drake in Q2 but its not enough to be considered.

High mid majors like WCC, A10, MWC, WCC, Southern and MVC have a certain criteria for at large bid, they have to create a criteria for the little guys to have a chance at 29-2, if they lose the 3rd meeting vs Belmont 29-3 is at large worthy for lower conferences like Murray St or Liberty, etc. that P6 teams are scared to face to get an at large chance with a great record, unbeaten 18-0 in conference NET #22 you can't deny they are one of the best 36 at large teams.And there in is the problem with the NET.
