Jay Bilas is no more proficient at selecting NCAA teams than many who follow this closely, (i.e most people on bracket matrix) including myself.

I don't say that in a conceited way... Jay Bilas knows far more about college basketball than me -- analyzing, playing, or college basketball in general.  If you want to know how a team could play better, or why its struggling, 100% go to Jay over any of the schmucks on the matrix or myself.  If you want to select teams on "eye-test" go to Jay,

But picking NCAA teams is a very systematic / metric based process (generally without "eye-test") that many have able to learn via observation,  without being experts in how to play and observe the actual game play like Jay Bilas.  Many probably devote more time to this silly "task", than Jay who focuses on a much deeper realm of college basketball.

Mid-major and low-major teams tend to get brutalized seeding wise / bubble wise.  They are a consensus 10.64 seed per the bracket matrix.  And that is before a loss  (if it were to happen)

Do I think they deserve to get in?  Yes, because I always prefer mid-major bubble teams over P5 teams that couldn't prove they were above the bubble line.  But that typically does not happen.

Do I think they will get in?   Its probably 50/50.
