so, you guys talk up ULL's high RPI as a reason they should host (which i agree they should host), and then want to keep out a team that has the 18th-ranked RPI in the country?

sorry, that's dumb.


UNC:

11th place in the ACC (13-17)
Missed the conference tournament
5-15 vs. RPI top-25



I mean it wouldn't make me mad if they made the postseason but it'd be nice to see them punished for being bad in their own conference and not making the tournament and allowing some other bubble team from a mid-major in.

Going off memory, UNC has been pretty poor in most of their recent postseasons. Sans 2013, i seem to remember a lot of failure like being bounced from their own regional (possibly as a national seed?) idk someone fact check me. I could easily biased

eta:


Ok, yea, this is definitely biased. Im thinking back to 2012 when St Johns beat them in their regional. But besides that they actually havent been that bad in terms of being overrated

Classic me being biased

i'm sure their rpi vs. the top 50 gets a little better. swept oklahoma state, beat south carolina and east carolina. all that tells me is that they played a very good schedule (i'd imagine it's gotta be inside the top 20 in the nation). also sucks for them that they traveled to ucla in a year that the bruins are shitty.

i want the best teams in the field. there's no way they're not one of the best 30-35 at-large teams in the country. i just don't think it would be nice in any way, shape, or form for a team that absolutely deserves to be in the field to be kept out because they played in THE BEST conference in america.

the sec invites 12 teams to its tournament. if the acc had the same format, unc would have made their conference tournament. that doesn't change their worth to me whatsoever.
