The metric is stacked against these schools. The subjective factors are stacked against these schools. Non-power school at-larges are becoming a thing of a by-gone era.

If the conference cares about what happens to its rep in the NCAA, the conference tournament should probably give a greater advantage to the top seed. With our stumble, the NCAA seed really suffered. Went from a decent upset chance to no chance. RE: UT Arlington is the highest RPI team not in the NCAA Tournament. - GaSoEagle - 03-13-2017 10:31 PM I agree. If we are going to have all 12 teams in then play 5-12 at home sites. That gets you to 8 -- then go back to old way-- 3-4 get single bye and 1-2 get double bye RE: UT Arlington is the highest RPI team not in the NCAA Tournament. - chiefsfan - 03-14-2017 12:11 AM (03-13-2017 10:31 PM)GaSoEagle Wrote: I agree.

Those 4 winners plus the top 4 head to Cleveland for the 8 team double bye format that we used last year Unfortunately, it means finishing 5-12 means you have to win 5 games in like 8 days to win the tournament. RE: UT Arlington is the highest RPI team not in the NCAA Tournament. - FoUTASportscaster - 03-14-2017 03:43 AM Why's that unfortunate? You earn your spot in the regular season. If I had my druthers, we'd be like the new Ivy League and not have a tourney.

Or just the top four finishers in the regular season since nobody plays a balance schedule.

I believe they only had to win 4 games to do so. http://www.mac-sports.com/tournaments/?id=65 RE: UT Arlington is the highest RPI team not in the NCAA Tournament. - Saint3333 - 03-14-2017 10:19 AM (03-14-2017 05:43 AM)UTArlingtonMaverick Wrote:(03-14-2017 03:43 AM)FoUTASportscaster Wrote: Why's that unfortunate?

In some years the SBC can benefit in the tourney (when the 1 seed goes dancing regardless). If we're a two bid league the tourney is great.

It shows how thin the margin is between the top teams in the conference. uta loses a key player in the conference tourney and then gets knocked out. It will be interesting to see if they can make adjustments by tonight at BYU..

I'd say they adjusted pretty well, running all over byu...even with Bilbao at 50% |
