Ironic how Seton Hall loss to RU maybe kept them out of tournament, & last year was the opposite..& both listed as 2nd team out
Official NCAA Selection Show thread

The Big East could get 3 teams to Sweet 16 to carry the conference and UConn could go back to back....but the league has a lot of local media hype in our area. If this isn't a slap in the face of reality, not sure what is.
Was R beating them on their home court the nail in shoe's coffin?
Now we know, most of the drama the last couple of days only mattered for the winners of the tournaments…and that’s if they weren’t already in….basically, the committee did their work last week and only plugged in the surprised winners…e.g., Oregon, NC State etc
Don't worry...next year, we'll hear again how CBS/TV has influence on the committee even though there has never been a reason to believe that it's true.
BE was top heavy, mediocre middle and horrible bottom - that’s what did them in. And I don’t want to hear from the metrics boyz on this. The field is the field at the end of the day. As Tony Soprano would say, “End of subject!” 😂
They may have two great teams and one very good- but the rest is average and the bottom is dreadful.
I'm not surprised that SHU didn't get in, but thought that the Johnnie's had a shot, especially after they blew out SHU and gave UConn a good game in the BE tourney. Rick Pitino didn't make the big dance, but his son did, lol.
Too bad that Princeton lost in the Ivy tournament, they would have been a fun team to watch dancing.
They have the best team but the Big 12 is way better. Cincinnati had 20 wins and finished 11th in the Big 12.

But what else can they do? They have to put the AQs in and then it’s “oh well…” The bubble was weak this year but really nothing broke right for those teams. A-10, ACC, AAC, Mountain West were all crappy results for bubble teams just to name a few.
I would think teams that made late runs in their tournaments but fell short of winning should matter a little. It didn’t happen this year, but if Ohio State made the BiG final, it should matter.. in this case, it wouldn’t
If a NET 28 doesn't get you in then I do not understand why they bother. Commish just has to make excuses like for us last year.
Shame. Oh well I guess there's the NIT that our experts want to go away.

I have watched college bb since 1976 and Depaul is the worst major college team I have seen.
NET is used for seeding - not for selection
My point is the surprise AQs handcuffed them somewhat. But in the end, what are we talking about? A handful of teams that may have a beef this year?
And because you have watched college bb that long, you remember when Ray Meyer was coach at DePaul.
God is that a shame to read. I have been watching as long as you and they were always so good when we were growing up. Almost beat ISU and Bird in the Final Four.
The logic seems awkward. If the net 28 or 29 means that according to that metric, you’re the 28th or 29th best team in the nation but you don’t get selected in the field as large as the tournament then it has zero use and zero credibility. If it is so far off from reality, why is it used for Any purpose at all, just throw it out. . I suppose I’m being obtuse but it seems contradictory.
net is not for selection its a sorting tool and can be used for seeding...I think the SOR was used to ding the Mountain West across the board
mid majors are always outliers
Indiana State beat no one ooc and only Drake once big deal
10 Q1/2 wins...and clean profile...committee loves these resumes and sos wasnt bad and sor was strong
