Why are folks bitching about Iona?
RPI of 41. Top 100 wins against Maryland, St. Josephs, Denver, Loyola (MD), and Nevada (bracketbuster game). A one point loss to Purdue. Won their conference. If they were Iowa, instead of Iona, no one would have complained. It does suggest to me that MTSU had a real chance for an at large, if they had lost in the final, instead of ended the season with losses to two 200 RPI teams, ASU and WKU.

I agree with your analogy. MTSU losing in the quarters was a killer.
