1 thing that has been debated a lot lately is the NCAA selection process with a team like Xavier. I do not think in 2015 that a 18-14 team has much of a chance....

last 10 years-
14 loss teams-
2011- Marquette, Penn St, Tennessee, USC, Mich St
2008- Arizona
2005- NC State
only 7 14 loss teams have made the tourney. With 5 in one outlier committee...

18 win teams
2008- Oregon, Kentucky
2007- Stanford
2006- Indiana, Seton Hall
2005- UCLA, Stanford
last 10 years only 7 18 win teams have made the tourney.

So recent historical data doesn't bode well for any 18 win or any 14 loss team to make the tourney, let alone one that has both of those. Why has the committee changed?

My thought on Xavier is pretty simple....

I think they will beat Creighton almost certainly. Clinches a spot....

But if they don't, I just do not see the selection process all that kind to Xavier. 5 sub 100 losses, a poor road/neutral record, a sub 50 RPI, 18-14 record. None of that bodes well for them.
