We were 4 teams away from making it?! Seriously?

Did they just say we were first 4 out, or did I misunderstand?

SMU's OOC schedule was worse than Syracuse.

How does that DePaul loss look now. Just when we didn't think another kick in gut was possible.
Yay!

Love that Little Ricky couldn't bluster his way into a 1 seed.

UVA and nova have a really favorable bracket. UVA has Michigan State as its 4 seed. Not sure how favorable that is, the way MSU played this weekend.

Why do you guys keep saying we were the first 4 out? They never said that.

Wow. Yeah. Nc state is ridiculous. That's a joke. Think the Coach K rant worked?

We were 4 teams away from making it?! Seriously? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO FOR THE LOVE OF CRAIG ESHERICK NO! (Okay fine...I find it unlikely this is the case ) That's just something CBS completely made up. Think about it logically: Xavier finished two games better than us in the Big East. They won a BET game over Marquette, who is way the heck better than Depaul. Xavier's RPI is about 20 spots better than ours. And they were basically the last team into a play-in game. Shoot, even if we WERE actually the last four out (and IDK if the committee ever actually discusses that), it'd be a big gap. (EDIT: There's also the matter of our conference's 4th place team Providence, who was slightly ahead of us going into the BET and WON THE STUPID THING getting only an 11 seed.)

Why do you guys keep saying we were the first 4 out? They never said that. We were officially first 4 out. Confirmed

Why do you guys keep saying we were the first 4 out? They never said that. That's what they said. Told you that if we won one tourney game we would be in. But you mentioned that doomsday scenario of losing in the first round and jinxed us remember?

But you mentioned that doomsday scenario of losing in the first round and jinxed us remember? Sure. That was it. I highly doubt that beating DePaul would have leapfrogged us over 4 teams to make the tourney. Like FL said, even Xavier barely made it.

Ugh, I can't believe they said that. Damnit. CBS said that (i.e. made it the eff up). The Selection Committee did not.

I'm not sure why people are running with this. Why would the committee ever officially announce the first four teams they screwed over. Seems unlikely.

I absolutely believe that we were in with a win over DePaul. The impact of winning that game, plus getting a game against Creighton (win or lose), plus MSU winning the B10 tourney puts us in.
