Surely A&M is hosting a regional, right? They have a top 18 RPI and are smoking hot

Highly doubtful.

The announce hosts before the championship game. At best we can get to 40 wins and and RPI in the low teens and a .500 record vs the top 50 (15-15), possible 16 if Sam moves back into the top 50.

I just don't think they're going to reward a team that was an 11 seed. We needed just one more win during conference play, I think we would have been good enough.

We're not too different from FSU last year. They were sitting at 28 in the RPI with a 12-14 record in the ACC. They went 2-0 vs a very good UL team and ran through the ACC tourney and jumped their RPI up to 16. They were rewarded with a host spot, but they also finished .500 in conference even if they didn't have as many wins or as high of an RPI.
