re: Is Monmouth really better than the SEC bubble teams

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.
