Is Monmouth really better than the SEC bubble teams

Yes

Bunch of morons on the rant

No, 3 sub 200 RPI losses and wins over UCLA/Georgetown don't look as good as they did early in year. USC and ND cooled off as well, even though both are tourney teams but neither make them locks. Right at the edge of the bubble but I expect them to miss it.

I hate it for King Rice (Monmouth HC, former Vandy assistant) would love for him to come back to VU when stallings is done.

They didn't look that good tonight.

Wichita doesn't deserve a bid, but they'll get one bc of past success and bc Van Vleet was out for some games.

Gonzaga doesn't deserve a bid unless they win their tournament either.

UGA,UF and LSU would beat Monmouth by at least 15 points

Yes.

Yes. I'd pick Kentucky and A&M, after that they can beat anyone in the SEC.

I think so. They have some pretty darn solid high-major wins. They are at least equal...and when that happens, I'll gladly take the mid-major Cinderella story. They play a good brand of basketball that is exciting, and their bench adds entertainment value to the tournament.

It's a no-brainer to me. They have more P5 wins than usual for a team of their stature....and only 3 bad losses.

I'd also take Wichita St. Over half their losses were from Van Fleet's time out with injury. They are a completely different team with him.

Gonzaga is in their conference tourney final, so we may not have to worry about them.
