If you were on the committee.....

And it was up to you to choose the last 4 teams in, what 4 teams do you think got the biggest screw?

And what 4 teams would u take out to put "yours" in.?

Mine is simple, and pretty much matches up from conference...

I would take out West Virginia, put in Notre Dame (more quality wins)

I would take out Iowa, and put Indiana in (3 more conf wins, played better at end)

I would take out UAB, and put Depaul in (even though UAB beat them 2/3, Depaul had tougher schedule, better record, and better team)

I would take out N. Iowa, and put in Miami-O (if you're give a mid major an at large, it should be a conf winner, not a 3rd or 4th place team that got knocked out in first round of their tourney)

I am shocked you said Notre Dame over WVa?

Buc the last month means much much more...wait after reading you had Indiana as well, I am not so shocked....

WVA deserved it...no question about it....Notre Dame blew down the stretch again!

Indiana played a tough schedule, but their record sucked, and they didn't have a single quality win, other than the home win against MSU. They are out, and the committee got that right. I agree with you on Depaul and Miami Ohio. But W Virginia was a lock to get in, after how they played this weekend. They deserved a bid.

I got one beef only...other than seeding.

I would take Northern Iowa out and replace with Miami O or Buff.

Seeding was pretty horrible but they did a good job w/ bubble teams IMO.

Buc I was just teasing about the Indiana schools...We are all homers,lol.. next year1

Thank goodness they didn't let sorry ass Md in somehow.

I would disagree with IU in over Iowa... Iowa's 2 wins in conference tournament sealed it for them. They also beat Louisville, Texas, Northern Iowa, Iowa St and IU (by 15 pts). It does help that the committee chair is the Iowa AD.

I would take out UAB and N. Iowa and put in Depaul and Miami, Ohio (agree with you)

West Virginia deserved spot based on converence tourney run, but I agree that ND should have been in, but who else comes out? Maybe UCLA (Even Michigan beat them), but ND lost to UCLA.

I am not arguing that Indiana should have been in, I am arguing that they should have been in over Iowa......Based on the reg season...

If Iowa had not made it, i would have had no beef with just 4 big ten teams making it....

I do believe that Notre Dame should be in over West Virginia, many more quality wins, just because WV got hot in conf tourney, should not make the whole season....Once again, I am not saying that WV shouldnt be in, just if they are in, Notre Dame should be as well.....

has nothing to do with being Indiana schools......

I am not even a big Notre Dame baskets fan, its just the way it is....

Like I said, i pretty much knew after losing to Minny, that Indiana was out, i am just upset that 7-9 Iowa got in instead of them......

Journeyman · Mar 13, 2005

Iowa shouldn't have made it either really...hell i would take Depaul over Iowa, and I believe Indiana was better than Iowa down the stretch but these teams that don't win late and leave themselves vulnerable don't deserve it...Maybe if Notre Dame beat UCLA instead of getting waxed on its home floor late in the year, or maybe if they handled Rutgers...Those two games sealed it.

You guys are putting too much stock in Indiana's conference record. I hate Iowa, but they deserve it SO much more than Indiana. Indiana beat Michigan St at home, Wisconsin at home, and nobody else for the entire season! Zero non-conference quality wins. Their record is terrible, it's just that they had a decent conference record. However, even when you break that down, they only had to play Illinois and Michigan St once each, and a second time against either team would have almost certainly resulted in a loss. Iowa had many quality wins in the non-conference, and played Illinois tough twice. They also beat Mich St in the tournament, and once they did that, they were a lock to get in. Lastly, Iowa beat IU by 15 points. Blowout. The IU fans can cry all they want about how they should have gotten in over Iowa, but the argument doesn't hold up.
