Really surprised about A&M. Their resume is better than Notre Dame and some others.

The college basketball gawds punishing Buzz Williams for chasing big bucks and bailing on Va Tech.

TBH, I think the commitee got it right. Might have an issue with seeding, but as far as who got in and who didnt, I think they were spot on

Committee chair said very clearly a few minutes ago on A&M...."they had Q1 opportunities and didn't get enough of them and had a 8 game losing streak".

So, I will say it again so it doesn't come up again....who you play matters, who did you beat matters.....ignore the NET, the NET determines nothing about making the NCAAs"

bad losses and poor ooc schedule, poor road mark...now compare to Michigan

Yes RU was 8-5 vs field while Michigan was 7-12

Michigan has one more loss. Michigan had sos of 5, non conference 28

Michigan was loss was Minnesota, RU had Maryland, umass, and Lafay

Mich had a win over SDSt ooc, RU best was weak Clemson

michigan net 34, RU 77

RU has to get dinged somewhere

I believe all 3 Big 10 schools were very close and you could not have all 3 in the first 4. No issue with the slight nod to Michigan based on metrics, thats where the metrics come into play. RU and Indiana very tight as well and they gave the slight nod to RU

Took a look at the NET vs. the overall seed listing..

The first 39 NET teams made it to the tournament.... but after that, at-large selections were made for 43, 45, 49, 50, 53, 55, 62, and 77. (Automatic bids for 46, 52, 64, 65)

Some of the biggest gaps between the NET ranking order (1-68) and the overall seed list:

Seed was lower than NET by at least 15 spots:
VTech - NET 27, Overall Seed 46
Loyola Chicago - NET 23, Overall Seed 39
Houston - NET 3, Overall seed 18
San Francisco - NET 22, Overall seed 37

Seed was higher than NET by at least 14 spots:
Providence - NET 33, Seed 16
Wisconsin - NET 24, Seed 9
Creighton - NET 55 (47th among the field), Seed 33
