The NCAA selection committee is a joke. Unreal inconsistency, stupidity, and lack of transparency. Hard not to think politics is at play.

Have you seen the standings for the Big 12 which is projected to get 9 teams in? The SEC got 8 teams. Tied for most. Missouri went 0 for. They shouldn't have Texas A&M was 2-4 in quad 3 games with losses to Wofford & Murray State. Also, Missouri went o-fer but they were still 159 as opposed to 205 & 320

Dumb Big East arguments:
1) It's the 2nd ranked conference in the country. They should have more than 3 teams in the tourney.
2) Georgetown & DePaul being epically bad really hurt the bubble teams.

Isn’t the Selection Committee eligible to get NIL deals to compensate them for all the work they put into this? The Big East and Fox are going to have to open the NIL war chests if they want to compete on Selection Sunday.

One reason why Georgetown could barely get wins after 1/3 of the way through the Big East season was because other Big East teams knew they could not afford a loss against the Hoyas, such a defeat would be devastating. The result was that all of those Big East teams not named DePaul did their job by avoiding such a trap. So why were they penalized?

St. John's would be at least a 6 point favorite against UVA on a neutral court. Any tournament that is using criteria that leaves home clearly superior teams is a flawed farce.

With all the BS related to the PGA Tour and LIV, I quit watching pro golf cold turkey. I used to watch 10-12 hours a week.
I am starting to get a similar vibe with CBB if this is how they are going to reward teams.

There’s a lot wrong with what transpired today.
First ACC just happens to luck into the #1 seed with UNC even though UNC gets rolled by a badly ranked NC State team. UNC is also rewarded with an easy bracket while UConn gets a tough bracket (2 other final four teams) and Marquette gets a murderous bracket (Kentucky, Florida, Houston, Duke, a hot NC state team)
Then UVA also lucks into the tourney despite being on the bubble and also getting rolled by that same badly ranked NC State team in the semis.
Clemson gets in with an 11-9 conference record. Baylor and Texas tech with an 11-7 conference record. BYU and kanas with a 10-8 record. Texas and TcU with a 9-9 record. (.500) Yet Seton Hall at 13-7 conference record (who beat the consensus number 1 UConn something only tourney teams Kanas and Creighton were able to do) St. John’s 11-9 do not get in.
If Georgetown and DePaul were even a little better (which likely happens next year) then there’s even more parity and even less wins for the rest of the “bubble” Big East teams.
What’s worse is the conference as a whole also will lose out on a lot of the tourney money.
And we also can’t see how teams we have watched all season in the big East like Seton hall, St. John’s, or Providence fair against out of conference ncaa tourney competition. Even Xavier and Villanova could probably beat a lot of the teams in the tourney.
It’s also a shame that we likely won’t see Khadari Richmond, Devin Carter or Soriano in this years tourney. And likely won’t see them ever again as they likely go pro.

Nobody could have seriously watched STJ vs UCONN and leave STJ out. Complete joke. STJ was highly competitive vs best team in the country which was playing well.
Not really much to be done about it though--not a good look for the BE. Hope it doesn't hurt recruiting.

The Big East could make a solid point by getting all three teams in the Final Four. Could happen.
The argument that Depaul and Georgetown dragged down the other BE teams is ludicrous if we had been a bit better and split with both St. Js and Prov., they wouldn't have gotten in either. So What's the difference?
