Easily the 2001 snub by the selecton committee was the worst as an Alabama fan. I remember watching the selection show and being in shock that our name wasn't announced. I kept thinking maybe I missed it. We won 21 games that season and still didn't get a bid. Ended up nearly winning the NIT but lost to Buzz Peterson's Tulsa team in the NIT final. Tennessee hired Buzz the next season.

Unbelievable how Georgia got in that year over Alabama. Georgia making it in 2001 was the NCAA taking TOO MUCH of a look into SOS and RPI. You do have to WIN some of those games,too.

Yep GA screwed Bama that year. The next year Bama lost to Stan Heath in the tourney and Arkansas hired him.

Edit: Will LSU or MSU hire the coach that beats Bama in the tourney this year.
