How are some of these teams locks?

[Orangefan1]

I don’t get how Boise State is a lock for the tournament? Who did they beat? How are they a lock versus us? If they played in the ACC they would be last in the league. There is a real problem with picking teams and this is one of several examples

 

[Cusefan0307]

Boise isn’t a lock at all they are just ahead of us in most cases.

That was easy

Seton Hall is 13-11. How are they still in according to everyone?

There on the bubble like us

Looks like they’re first team out on matrix. They really don’t have much to hang their hat on win wise

Rutgers, Mich St, Fla, UConn

Have issues with them in and us out

Rutgers beat us.

 

[orangenauburn]

Rutgers beat us.

I've noted that elsewhere

What else have they done since January?

They've beaten minnesota twice, indiana once and northwestern once.

There loss to Nebraska was real bad

Didn’t realize the season started in February

Rutgers beat us head to head and plays in a better league so you’re wrong there.

 

[Bball44]

Rutgers beat us.

Everyone points to the first Pitt loss but so rare to be undeated at home. This is the one game that would have been nice to flip. Still pretty good to come back from both and be in position to get in.

 

[jdubs30]

Rutgers, Mich St, Fla, UConn

UConn should be in. Their only losses with Bouknight are Nova and Creighton. They beat USC and their metrics are a lot better than ours

 

[SURU]

Rutgers win over Illinois carries their resume. Hard to beat a 1 seed and not make it. Unless your Minnesota who beat two 1 seeds and two 2 seeds before their collapse...

 

[jdubs30]

Our problem is Q1. All those teams with more losses than us have at least 1 big win, if not more.

I thought the committee takes into consideration when games occur without players. I.e. no Buddy for that game

 

[orangenauburn]

Last ten games don't weigh as much anymore?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Last ten games don't weigh as much anymore?

Hasn’t in at least 10 years.

 

[orangenauburn]

Hasn’t in at least 10 years.

Think it still has some weight

I don’t think that’s the case, but who knows with the committee

 

[Cusefan0307]

It does.

 

[walsh2012]

It does.

I STAND CORRECTED

It’s how that loss occurred. That was sad.
