Hope Memphis gets to the title game and Crawford misses a three pointer at the buzzer. Dude killed us

Seed list is out...Middle Tennessee was the last team in. La Salle and St. Mary's were also lower than Boise as at-larges.

The list is here.

Boise's RPI is 44, and USM is 32 (I think).

We moved up to 31 after Wisconsin lost.

one win in the three shots we had against Memphis would have probably done it, too. hell, if we were last out, anything would have done it.

I think we were the first out, not last out.

But, alas, my opinion = nothing.

Good luck in the NIT!

I believe either a victory against Wichita st or Memphis and victory against Marshall would have done it for s miss ... I believe more so against Wichita st than Memphis would have made it similar to st Mary's resume and all those road victories would have pushed them ahead.

I think a win over Marshall would've been enough.

You mean that you hope Antonio Barton misses a three at the buzzer, right? :)

So biased, he shouldn't be on TV.

He was talking earlier that the selection committee is paying more attention to who you win against overall... Bilas is an idiot.

Bilas and Rothchild have both shown themselves to be complete idiots when it comes to talking about college basketball.

Rothstein, not Rothchild.

You'd have to find my older post, Fun.. but I've called him Rothchild since he went on a whiny rant on the tim Brando show last year when Tim actually called him out on his "USM didn't belong in the dance last year".

He basically spent the entire rest of the time he was on whining.

These bozos are so predictable. Every team they pick to win is simply the more highly followed team. Pathetic...

Hopefully both Tech and USM will get SEC teams at home to start the NIT.

I will be shocked to death if the sec teams don't host games and get manageable paths forward

The media certainly pushes their favorites hard.
In spite of it all, the selection committee does a fairly decent job.
Even though some fall through the cracks every year unfortunately.
