Not surprised they kissed the SEC’s arse and let either Kentucky or A&M in.

I mean looking at resumes it was pretty hard to have Kentucky out. Just too many strong points compared to other bubble teams.

Tough for UConn to miss out on a 7th straight bid. Won a series at Miami, beat Vandy and UNC and had the #39 RPI. Big East only got 1 bid. Probably should have been in over Kentucky. Had more Q1/2 wins than Kentucky too.

Anything is possible I guess.


You can say that after 2008 Fresno State.

RPI of 89, 30 losses and needing the WAC tournament to get into the field.

And then beating Georgia in Omaha.

Yeah, I know the formula now. Be in a good conference, have a shitty conference record.

Not really. UK was 29-24 and not good in league play. Not sure why they deserved to get in

I agree on Kentucky. Oklahoma State also shouldn't have been in, IMO.

And they had two bubble teams. Xavier played probably the hardest non-conference schedule in the country. And additional win or two probably would have gotten them in. They lost some games in conference they shouldn't have, but all teams do. But they played at LSU, Tennessee, Vandy, and Oregon St, among others.
