IF winning is all that matters, then 'Bama wouldn't have gotten snubbed last year.

Resumes are more about impressive wins.

In which you have 0 impressive wins. I think Bama may be getting an extra look based on that snubbing from last year.

LSU shouldnt be in the tourney. I really think we would just embarrass ourselves. At least we are taking advantage of the rest of the shitty teams in the conference

How is a win over a number 5 seed in the tourney not impressive?

If we can't count a top 5 seed win impressive, than your michigan win is useless.

RPI is a huge tool used in the selection of the teams. This has been stated many times by the selection committees over the years. SOS is a major part of the RPI. SOS is the same whether a team wins or loses the game. Understand?

How does Alabama have zero impressive wins? Also, when you lose to good teams your RPI gets a boost from having that team on the schedule. That's a part of the reason Alabama has such a good RPI. If you beat a couple of them then it's that much better and that's why Alabama is in good shape as of now. It's not like all the teams on the bubble behind Alabama have 4-5 great wins. If they did, they wouldn't be on the bubble.

Is he putting Washington and Arizona in just because they are in the P-12 a "major" conference or does Lunardi not realize how terrible that conference is this year? Only Cal deserves to be in right now, that's it.

I would say we could do some damage in the N.I.T. but I still think we'd drop 1st or 2nd round there. Just have no confidence in this team under TJ.

Where will Arkansas be in the tourney you ask? Probably the same place as Bama, which is sitting on the coach and watching it from home. One things Arkansas has done that Bama needs is proof that they can beat a good team. Wins over Mich and Vandy are just light years ahead of anything Bama has done thus far this season.

And why would I care where Arkansas is this season? MA has taken a team that wouldn't win 10 games with 90% of the coaches out there. I am more than satisfied with the job he's done.

I agree it's absolutely terrible and he's (as well as others) have discussed the possibility of that league being a one-bid league throughout the course of the season. When you look at the bottom of the at-large field though at the last teams in and those right at the cut line, you realize how weak the at-large pool is this year.

Washington will make it further in the tourney that every SEC team besides Kentucky... maybe even further than Kentucky.

Michigan is one whole spot ahead of Witchita St in the RPI and Vandy is a little ways behind both. And Alabama's win over Witchita came on a neutral site, not at home like Arky over Michigan. Brilliant. Should we talk bad losses and overall strength of schedule?

Wichita State are you kidding me? They are not a tourney team in a the SEC or Big 12. They are a cinderella story that writers love to inflate in the off chance that they might be the next Butler.

Just to show how we fared against NCAA tourney "IN" teams:

@Kentucky(1 seed) closest any SEC team has came to beating them. Came down to the last minute.

Georgetown (3 seed) had to have buzzer beater 3 to beat 'Bama

Florida (4 seed) played without 2 of our best players. Not saying we would have won.

Wichita St (5 seed) beat them on neutral court

Vanderbilt (7 seed) No excuses. Lost. Out played.

Kansas St (9 seed) we got reamed on neutral court in Kansas.

@Miss St (9 seed) they needed a late second score to win.

Purdue (10 seed) We beat them on a neutral court.

Glad you are on the selection committee... when we were a 11 seed 2 years ago we "shouldn't even have been in" but made it to the Sweet 16 beating Marquette and New Mexico.
