If McNeese only loss the rest of the season is in the conference tournament, they would have the most wins (29), and not make the NCAA tournament since the tournament expanded to 64. I honestly think they would have a chance to make it as an At-Large if they don’t win the conference tournament, especially if they can stay in the top 60 net ranking.

No way in hell the voters keep out a 25+ win streak team for losing their tourneys final. I got 350 on it, if it so happened.

St Mary's in 2018 went 30-6 and got snubbed from the NCAAT.

Monmouth had a 28-8 record in the 2015-2016 season, and had a 27-7 record in the 2016-2017 season and missed the tournament both seasons.

Illinois state was like 28-7 2016-2017 Season.

2011 Coastal Carolina 28-5
2013 Stephen F. Austin 27-4
2015 Murray State 27-5
2015 Colorado State 27-6
2014 Southern Miss 27-6
2014 Toledo 27-6
2012 Drexel 27-6
2012 Oral Roberts 27-6
2014 Louisiana Tech 27-7

Did these two (of any on your list) have comparable wins such as the Cowboys at Michigan / VCU / UAB?

I think those three wins matter.

That is a good point, but it will depend on the rest of the teams that have decent records and what conference auto bids are upsets or teams that would otherwise make it. I haven't been keeping up as much as usual but it feels like there is a lot of parity outside of the top 4 or 5 and that may impact a Southland team getting in as an at-large with no Q1 wins.

Unfortunately, the back end of their schedule looks bad, with a NET 200 opponent as their toughest opponent, so they cannot afford another regular-season loss to be considered for an at-large bid. They are currently NET 65 which would not put them in the tournament if it was strictly based on NET Rankings. As other teams win Q1 & Q2 games, you may see McNeese drop despite winning.

I cannot seem to find the info but has the Southland ever had 2 teams in the tournament since they have had an auto bid starting in 1981?

Winning the tournament is the only real guarantee, an at-large bid is an iffy proposition.

St Mary's had a win at 13th-ranked Gonzaga and beat a good BYU team twice in the regular season before falling to them in the conference tournament. That is a better win than VCU.

I am not sure any Southland team has ever had an at-large bid since the advent of the automatic bid for the conference tournament winner. I am also not sure any Southland team has been as good as this McNeese team going into the conference tournament and not won.

St Mary had 28 wins during the regular season and conference tournament. They won 2 games in the NIT to get to 30 wins. If McNeese can win out the regular season that puts them at 29 wins. Plus they would have the conference tournament a couple games.

I’m sure Walk-Ons and Mr. Bills will have it. Maybe Darrell’s, BWW, Crying Eagle, but not super certain.
