Relying on Drexel and USF to be good as solid OOC games is playing with fire.
Selective ignorance ... which means you selected games to illustrate your ignorance.
Martin scheduled Memphis State, thought we would be playing a highly ranked FSU in the Paradise Jam, Depaul, Hofstra, Tulsa, St Johns ... all solid traditions. Clemson was supposed to be decent.
Not Martin's fault.
Some of his coaching decisions were but, then again, he still overachieved with this team.
We need to win another NIT and build off of it for next year and just get-over being snubbed by the NCAA because of the conference we endeavor to play in and the bad losses we inflicted upon ourselves.

Memphis obviously lost Nichols in the summer but that is not exactly a marquis game with Pastner's track record there.
DePaul and St Johns were expected to be all time bad this season.
FSU and Leonard Hamilton is the same problem as Memphis.
As I said, why not play upper tier teams in the ACC as close as they are to Columbia?
Why not use Martin's Big XII connections to get Kansas or Oklahoma or Baylor in to CLA?

It's unfortunate, but still, SC could've scheduled a lot better. Even though a lot of those teams were down, none of those were really top 20 type teams. Seems like the message the committee is sending is that losses to good teams are better than wins over bad teams (not sure about that logic, but apparently it's what they use) and to go ahead and schedule teams like Duke and UNC and if ya lose, so what? Apparently it helps your resume just to play them. I don't entirely agree with their logic, and I thought SC should've been in over Vandy, Tulsa or Syracuse. This definitely wasn't one of the committee's better jobs.
