Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 2104552, member: 312"] Monmouth again the #1 seed in their conference with a great record, lost the other night to Siena. The griping in the media has already begun to give Monmouth an at large bid. Especially because many in the media (like Jay Bilas) were screaming they got screwed last year not getting in because they also lost their conference tourney. They have become the darling of the sports pundits who have a virtual vendetta against middle P5 teams with a few wins against top 15 teams but get in with double digit loses. There is a lot of pressure being put on the selection committee to leave out middling P5 teams in favor of small conference teams with gaudy 27-6 like records who lose their conference tourney (even though they may not have any top 50 wins). The NCAA is going to eventually give in to this. Hope it doesn't get us this year. [/QUOTE]
