Depends on who the committee chair is apparently.

The mens chair is the AD of UNC, the womens chair is the AD of Duke.

What kind of mafia crap is this?

This is the team I felt got screwed the most today.

I get WAB, but what good is SOS if you win 1 game of the games that give you that SOS?

These people couldn’t pass a 10th grade stats class. Don’t try to understand stand them.

Wow Jay Williams just went out on a limb.  Every Elite 8 game is a 1-2 matchup and every final four team was a 1 seed.  Hope he doesn’t hurt himself there.

Let's talk about an IU team that (should) make the tourney. The womens bracket about to get announced.

[LIHoosier 27,553]

IU women 9 seed vs Utah in Columbia, SC.

If they win that, then its likely a demolishing by the Game(Redacteds)

ESPN Women’s selection show is atrocious. Half the teams having watch partys are on delay so they just sit there smiling and waving.

I hate this "we're too good for the NIT" mindset

To be fair it feels like one of those chalk years at the top. Feels like Auburn, Duke, Houston and Florida are miles ahead of the rest of the pack.

Should win in March and do win in March aren’t usually mutually exclusive.  Things happen.  Auburn happens to have lost 3 of 4 going into the tournament.  Cooper’s ability to play due to an awful timed injury.  They aren’t that ahead of a team getting hot in March in a single elimination tournament.  IMO

One thing I think we can agree on is I hope the SEC crashes and burns early

Completely agree, and hopefully Cooper can heal quickly.  I was looking forward to watching him in this environment.  Definitely have a team to get there if he is healthy enough.  Not a bad draw either.

I didn't think we earned a spot and would have gotten in because they needed x number of teams. The good news is that this hopefully means the search ends sooner and we can begin building our future.

Bubba got UNC in the tournament and then got a $68k bonus lol!

Blatant corruption. Makes it harder to enjoy the great bball that March brings.
