I want the best 37 at-large teams.
UAB didn't seem like one of those on paper. Only NCAA toury team they beat was VCU.
USC had many big wins and some bad games they lost to bad RPI teams.
Clemson looked like they passed the eye-test, but on paper they didn't.
I think CSU non-league schedule killed them and not making the HL tiltle game.

If someone thinks a team should not be in the field, they should not be in the field. They didn't earn it. It doesn't matter if they win or lose. Correct. Colorado didn't earn it. |

Looking at VCU and Colorado, they look about the same on paper. I think VCU got in over CU by wins away from home versus UCLA, George Mason, ODU, Wichita State and Wake Forest.
Ya, I know Wake Forest is bad this season. To me it's a mid-major winning at an ACC school's home floor. Wake did win a game last season in the NCAA's. I give credit to VCU for that win. It's not VCU fault that Wake Forest was a bad team this year.

Now looking at VT, they only beat 3 schools in the big dance. Duke, PennSt. and FSU x2.
VT needed to beat Clemson or BC after the Duke win. They needed replay for the win versus FSU in the ACC toury for that win.

By adding more teams, you add to the vagueness of who's tournament worthy and who's not.

It's really hard to not like Butler when they play like this on this stage with such routine.

How did they get a foul call on a 3/4 court heave? I mean Butler winning helps the conference but I don't think I've ever seen a foul call like that? |

I don't know the players name, but he clearly hammered Howard's left arm after the rebound, that was the foul call, not a foul on the shot attempt. HORIZON LEAGUE TAKES DOWN THE BIG EAST !!!!!! |

It wasn't a shooting foul. Robinson grabbed his arm on the rebound. God knows why Dixon had anyone close to the lane.

If you are Pitt, you do have someone on the lane for a tip in at the buzzer.

As I said, I will never cheer for Butler, but it is truly amazing how well they play in the biggest games.
You have a guy on the line when it is tied. A tip in wins that game. How often does a foul like that happen. I understand pulling them off with a lead since a tip-in doesn't matter (exactly what Stevens did).
