Virginia also beat Florida and Texas A'M'. Seton Hall OOC beat nobody.
OT: Do we feel bad for Seton Hall?

No. Lots of Big East belly aching going on. I know UConn is good. Doesn't mean they are a six bid conference.
Hate SHU, but I actually feel bad for them, I think they got hosed.
Can you imagine if we had 13 conference wins and didn’t make?

Not only do I not feel bad for them. It’s a point of pride that we are a good part of the reason they are out
Lol they're coming out with official statements now. Embarrassing
I understand their disappointment but SHU did lose out of conference to Rutgers, Iowa and Southern Cal. Also they lost 5 conference games by 18 points or more. Plus they struggled both games with Georgetown and had two wins over Depaul in conference who was one of the worst teams in D-1. They are only # 62 in Kenpom when we finished at # 42 last year when we were left out of the tournament. I hope we can have a very good season next year and can avoid any bubble talk.
The Big East has been relegated to a mid-major conference. The days of them getting a handful or more teams in the tournament are history. They offer nothing to the B1G and SEC, they are lucky those conferences even agree to let them play in the tournament going forward, the 80s are over.
I'm elated that Hall missed by the skin of their teeth. They deserve the same pain we felt
They didn’t deserve to get in, plain and simple. And about time the committee stopped falling for the Big East manipulating metrics and inflating their teams.
Hope they enjoy the NIT

No you don’t have to have feelings for Seton Hall but they are still playing ( won last night) we unfortunately are not. We would love to have had our team still playing.
It’s unfortunate for them that there were so many bid stealers and that is a bummer and I can certainly empathize with their disappointment. That said no way they deserved to be in looking at their resume and the slots available. The 13-7 is a joke with 4 guaranteed wins. They were up and down. Too many blow outs and a terrible OOC.
And so far the Bigeast has one team left in the NIT, Seton Hall that was lucky to get to OT and win.
I ran into friends that were at the SHU-St. Joe's game. They said it was an amazing atmosphere and they had a blast. Congrats to SHU and their fans. I'm rooting for them to keep it going tomorrow. It gives Sha less time to recruit the portal.
Born and raised in Essex County NJ 2 1/2 miles from the Seton Hall prep and university campus... rooted for guys like Nick Werkman . Played in the old gym many times and always rooted for them . I was accepted to both the prep and university but chose another ... so if RUTGERS isn’t still playing , and though it’s only the NIT , I do have a place for them. Wish them well … we beat them this year and that is great.
So SHU and the 3 Big East teams in the dance are a combined 8-0 in their respective tournaments. Say what you want, but the Big East is having the last laugh.
And my buddy that wanted the NC State coach fired has his tail between his legs. I have no idea how that team has managed to win 7 games in a row, but I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that they beat Marquette and reach the Elite 8. Crazy.

The NCAA tournament teams are 6-0 against lower seeds. If you bring in Seton Hall to the discussion, though, you also have to bring in Villanova, Providence, and Xavier. Big East is 2-3 in the NIT this year so far, with two of their teams losing to lower seeds.
Still, they're having a good post season overall, and UVA got plastered in their first four game - so I'd say some talk may be warranted on whether they deserved to get a fourth team in.
And the vaunted Mountain West that got 6 teams into the NCAA has one left.
Because if you guys got in as a 10-11 seed, you'd definitely be in the Sweet 16 right?
If you want to argue resumes go ahead, but overall the MW is actually outperforming their seedings after the first weekend.
