So why’d we get that tournament bye that went to only 4 teams?
We were top 4 based on how divisions were split but I think on a regular season with no divisions, we probably would've been a 5th seed IMO.

Thats how I see it. We were second in the east, but other than WKU, the other top 3 were in the west. Because of COVID, they changed the rules, and the byes went to the top 2 seeds in each division, not overall. As a result, we got a bye for being second in the east but fifth overall. FWIW, Marshall had just as many losses as us and split with us, but played 2 fewer conference games. Had the season played all the way out, we probably would have been 6th overall, behind them too.
We had more wins than NT. So no, if they seeded like they normally do, we would have still received a bye.
As for Marshall, we split with them without our two best scorers. But sure, I bet in a regular year, everyone else would have been better and we would have been worse.
You're really stretching here. There was a very unbalanced schedule this year. So while you may be able to make an argument on a technicality, and a flimsy one at that, the reality is that we likely were not one of the 4 best teams in the conference, and the fact that we finished 2nd in the East does not prove the we were.
