if they lose in the ConUSA tournament. They are the only one of the 4 teams that tied for first place with a good RPI (i.e. 36). They have a record of 26-5. But almost none of the experts have them in the NCAA tournament because their only Top 50 win is North Dakota State. They will likely have to face UTEP in their first game so they might get knocked out early. But if they lose in the final, they will have 28 wins. I think that might get them in. I think they will reward, at least, one midmajor that had a great year, that was upset in their conference tourney. Problem is few have great OOC resumes- Green Bay already was upset. The only thing going for them is a win against Virginia (which is pretty impressive). GaSt has too low an RPI and no big wins. Stephen F. Austin is 29-2, but also hasn't beaten anybody. Still, if they lose in their final, leaving out a team with 31 wins seems hard to imagine. Will be interesting to see if the committee does reward one mid or low major.
