Travesty

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

lmao no way

 

[Lempface]

What a joke, you gotta beat some people c'mon committee.

 

[JonathanW_rivals]

Sickening

 

[GermantownDawg]

Hog wash

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Lunardi must have had some inside info. Weird how he was against the waves putting them in without the resume for it

 

[sefleming]

Politics it's who you know

“New metrics”.

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

Gonna be fun listening to them justify that crock of ****

 

[KYExtemper]

Never any doubt for me. It's a joke but completely expected.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Isn’t that Bubba guy head of the SC?

What a coincidence.

 

[fadkins82476]

1 Q1 win

 

[26MichaelUK]

Crock of ****.

 

[David Rice]

********.

 

[TriCountyCAT]

That probably means Texas is out

 

[rick64]

What a crock of

 

[TTTblue24]

Can’t wait to hear this explanation for then being in so hoping SDSU lays the smack down on them and their laughable resume.

 

[sambowieshin_rivals]

The bias is real.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

Makes no sense. The acc is so bad the 2nd best team, uofl, got an 8 seed and yet unc gets in

 

[ftp000]

Let them embarrass themselves and lose in Dayton. What a joke

 

[UKUGA]

Lunardi must have had some inside info. Weird how he was against the waves putting them in without the resume for it

He’s being fed info the way Nate Silver was in 2012.

 

[SemperFiCat]

1-11 against Quad 1? Yep, def a tournament team.

 

[pauled#1]

1-11 against Quad 1? Yep, def a tournament team.

Unreal!

 

[RoyKent]

UNC being in is such a joke

 

[Mike-D]

Kentucky would have not got in with that resume. Same ****, different day.

 

[katwest]

Michael Jordan must have called the committee?

 

[NociHTTP]

LOL, UNC is better than some here are giving them credit for. Some of their losses to better teams were close. Their defense against Duke in the second half was lights out. I was impressed. Offensively, they suck.

EDIT: their record easily could have been 27-8.

 

[bucsrule8872]

UNC over IU?

I hate the Hoosiers more than UNC, but that’s ridiculous.

Also, WVU?

So much for metrics. So much for playing in a tough conference vs. a weak one.

 

[bucsrule8872]

There’s the reason why UNC made it. Right there on the screen.

Bubba!!!

 

[ukcatz12]

“New metrics”.


- Kellogg

I think the committee is considering Kenpom this year and UNC is ranked 33rd there. I think that's what he was referencing.

Edit: It's torvik not Kenpom, but basically the same thing.

 

[Jakerz]

They didn’t deserve to be in and neither did Arkansas.

But it’s about the money and that’s all that will ever matter from now on. UNC will bring a lot more dollar signs than anyone else left out

 

[KYFOSSIL]

You are clueless!

Unc has better metrics than both

 

[sosoblue]

Old Bubba Cunningham snake oil AD. AD for UNC and head of the tourney committee.

They are an ok team. They didn’t have the resume. The committee bent away from their standards to make an accommodation. Not the first time and won’t be the last.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

IU should have gotten in over UNC.

 

[Randy Bob]

UNC could lose every game and still make it in.

 

[TortElvisII]

2013 KY had a way better season.

 

[Gators1853]

Like my daughter said, It is who you know.

 

[Lempface]

1-11 against Quad 1? Yep, def a tournament team.

But when you multiple their SoS by their opponents PPG and carry the 2, divide by their rebound differential and then add in the number of fans they have they are obviously in. I mean the metrics speak for themselves.
