A lot could be said for taking people with that level of financial gain potential out of the decision making process.  

Anyone that thinks that there was not a wink, wink, nod, nod, or at least an implied pressure while he was in the corner, covering his eyes and ears is a fool.

Yeah, but how will the adjust to devries recent injury?

He only played 8 games.  They still won more Q1 games than UNC without him.    No justification for leaving them out for UNC.  West  Virginia got hosed worse than anyone I can remember.    Seems lately they have put a borderline Acc team in the first 4 that was on the bubble.   Should of known to include UNC but couldn’t bring myself to do it with that resume

To put in UNC is criminal.

That’s all I’m gonna say bout that.

Yep! One of those guys said but they’re 8-0 vs Q2. Wtf?

What a weird year for the committee. We didn’t deserve to get in anyway IMO. Snubbing WVU over DeVries injury is crazy for UNC. I get on paper our resume probably had valid arguments but the whole no non-Q1 losses thing loses merit with me considering we were blown out in a good number of them.

I think if we would have beaten Oregon we still would have been in the first 4 game

Hey guys, I'm gonna leave the room when you discuss my Tar Heels. But when I come back -- if we happen to be in the field ... 

DINNER AND DRINKS ARE ON ME!!!

Agreed.  IU I could be talked into either direction.  But UNC over WVU, and trying to act like it was due to that injury?  What are we doing here?  That is just absurd and with that statement shows what this was all about.  Really disappointing and a lot could be said about hiring 12-15 people with the passion you have and no financial upside determining who makes it.

Seth Greenberg is on the Dan Patrick Show ripping the selection of UNC! 

And he's a former ACC guy.

Probably not a bad thing in the long run. Let UNC prop up Davis for far too long. He can be there Davis/Crean and keep them out of contention for a decade-plus. 
 

Looking at the 4/5 seeds we were going to be one and done most likely anyways.  
 

Woodsons penchant for getting blown out in nonconf games makes everything else look bad.

Should have been in but that's the risk you take when you put yourself on the bubble.  Could have easily been avoided if they had been able to close out 1 or 2 of the games they lost that were there for the taking vs Oregon, Maryland, UCLA, Purdue, Michigan, and Northwestern.

Getting absolutely blown out by Louisville, Gonzaga, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin had to really hurt the metrics too.

Team was way too talented to find themselves on the bubble but they got what they earned

Is anyone surprised that the AD of UNC is corrupt? This is the school of fake classes, after all. Besides, if IU's administration can be corrupt, it makes sense that the administrations at schools like UNC would be too.

Bracket Matrix results are up. Morrie Lunardi finished T-109th of 249.

Everyone's favorite Bowl Cut was 235th. That's 15th from the WORST. 

For the love of everything, just retire.

P.S. I knew that dingbat having us as a 10 seed last week was a damn hex.

Never too early to talk bracketology.  You can’t make the tourney this early in the season with your on court results but you can sure help your case by taking care of business.   IU has won their first 3 games by 23 points or more with one of those teams being a power 5 team that will be competing for a tourney spot.   Never a bad thing to start out your journey for a bid with a little cushion instead of playing catch up.  IU is no longer bringing a knife to a gun fight with the metrics part of the equation.  Glad this staff plays the game.  This doesn’t guarantee anything but from my point of view following the metrics this is a breath of fresh air seeing IU enter the chat in playing the metrics game.  Keep taking care of business and IUs first NET number should be a good one to start from

Even with the win of just 8 over IW, have to think the previous blowout wins have us ahead of the curve right now.

Marquette plays Dayton tonight.  Might tell a little bit more about Marquette.

The first NET rankings come out tomorrow.  I think Indiana will be sitting nicely in the first iteration, around where they are in KenPom (#19) or maybe even a few notches better.

We’re #11, even a bit higher than I projected.

[Jeff Flabjohns]

That’s incredible. No more having to fight our way up after (understandably) being slotted in the 50s

Makes a little bit of sense that we’d over perform the efficiency metrics because they give you credit for wins and we haven’t lost yet.  Still, that’s a nice start. 
 

Where did you see these at btw? I’m just seeing the old ones on cbs and ncaa’s site.
