****NCAA/NIT Selection Sunday Thread****

The committee gave no bones to the Big Ten.
I can't understand how USC and Wake are in?? They had high RPIs and that's it. Their resume vs Iowa is similar. K-state as well.
The committee can say all they want, they used RPI and then top 50 records. I think in the end the RPI was the deciding factor. Which sucks because they are going away from it next year.

I'm no expert but I've been saying on this board for weeks that the NCAA said it will be working on creating a new metric for future years. It was still clearly an important piece this year.
Totally agree on Wake. No impressive non conference wins and 7 of 10 wins including ACC tourney vs 9 teams below them as they finished 10th. Benefit from strong conference reputation.
What killed Iowa's bubble hopes besides obvious Indiana loss were bubble teams such as Xavier beating butler, kstate knocking off baylor then only losing by 1 to wvu, Rhode Island won A10 tourney and avoided 1 seed Dayton who was upset and Vandy beat Florida again.
As for USC didn't play super tough non conference but also didn't lose any of them and had a ucla W so see how they got in and as well as providence no arguement with their resume for play in game.
So who do we think we'll draw in the 1-8 game? I think we'll get USD. Regional game. Trey Dickerson is a starter.
Minnesota game screwed both iowa and the big ten out of another tourney team.
I'm pretty sure when they're talking about your school, the AD of said school can't be in the room. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure this is the case
Please, it wasn't Minnesota's fault they beat us....it was the blind eye of Chris Beaver that cost us that game....nothing more...
I'm guessing we see a mid major regular season runner up in the 1st round.
No way they'd pair a 1 vs 8 against a team that won their regular season conference title. Those teams usually tend to get a little love when it comes to seeding in the NIT.

I disagree. Last year all of the 7 and 8 seeds in the NIT were mid major champs. It's treated pretty much the same as the NCAA.
There's something called throwing someone a bone regardless if they are in the room or not. That was the weakest constructed region in years that Oklahoma just happened to draw.
Thank you NIT for putting Greensboro against Cuse....if only we could have played there.
Potential Indiana - Syracuse matchup. Lol at ESPN pimping GTech until they got bounced in the ACC Tourney. NIT 6 seed.

The NIT doesn't need to show any sign of operating with logic, unlike the NCAA tourney that at least pretends to......
