NIT Selection Thread

[Coach34]

agreed. The selection committee did an awful job

[tcdog70]

Go figure, what dumbasses seeded this tournament. The 17ing corndog seeded ahead of US. They take a Neb. Bubble team and seed them 5th and send them to Starkville. WTF?

[Bulldog1]

Am I the only one that thinks we got a bad draw?

What a joke

[preachermatt83]

Nebraska got jobbed even worse than we did tho.

I'm just glad we are playing, nothing is easy regardless who is playing now. Having a home game is a plus.

This should show everyone how we were actually viewed. We got a 4 seed. Means we were at best 13 spots out of the NCAA Tournament.

We are getting punished and not respected because of our non conference SOS. You can put money on that. No way we are a 4 seed but I guarantee our non conference SOS is starring those people in the face and it’s hard for them to look at a number in the 300s. I get why we did it this year. Let’s just never do it again.

What else is new? Just hope they don't do our women's team wrong and seed us where we might see UConn before the championship game. The way things go for us, I wouldn't be shocked to see it.

It’s the NIT. Other than extra game time, it’s worthless.

[CovertDawg]

Yep....but Ado did not play in the Nebraska exhibition.

So, we only lost to a ranked Cincinnati in non conference. Why should you be penalized for beating everyone you were supposed to beat, no matter the rank.

Would we have been better off to schedule in the low 100’s and have a losing record? That just doesn’t make any logical sense.

But I hope it makes enough sense to the people that schedule for us as to what needs to be done. The edict is clear.

No we would have been better scheduling in the low 100s and having 2-3 losses. No one said anything about a losing record.

Here’s an example. Was looking at college baseball RPI yesterday. A team, I believe Cornell, had the strongest SOS as of yesterday. They played a series @TAMU and a series @Duke. They lost all 6 games. Their RPI is currently 97.

So they’ve lost every game they’ve played, but their RPI is better than more than 200 teams, including some with double digit wins. Why is that?? Strength of schedule. It matters and it has always mattered. When you look at metrics, strength of schedule is a major component, and in a sport where the non conference and conference play have distinct delineations, it’s easy to pick non conference apart. Point is had our non conference schedule been 100 RPI points stronger, we could have lost a couple more games and still had a better RPI.

So I guess the Belk Bowl and Liberty Bowl are worthless too..

They have completely jumped the shark with thevnonconference sos thing. Overall strength of schedule should be much more important. The only time nonfonference strength of schedule should matter is when looking at bubble teams. A t am with a really good nonconferernfe sos but a weak conference should get more leeway than a team with a weak nonconference sos and a strong conference.

The committee botched the NCAA as well.

Oklahoma safely in was laughable
Arizona St and UCLA getting in over USCw is awful
And Syracuse getting in period is absurd

Nebraska as a 5 in NIT is a joke
LSU a 3 with us being a 4 is comical . 1-1 head up . Neutral site win trumps home win. And ranked higher in conference
USCe should have gotten in.

Usually every year there are 1-3 teams that are debated about being in and left out. This year it’s half dozen of so.
So yeah the new “quad system” was a huge success.

All true. Probably the worst bracket they’ve EVER filled out
