But didn't Carolina schedule against some pretty good programs that just happened tank this year? Not sure when they made the contracts but normally DePaul, Memphis and St. Johns are pretty good at basketball.
Nope. They went the, "pretty good mid major" route instead of the "pretty good real team" route. Look at their non-conference. It blows.

The metric changes every year. It's the biggest bunch of bullshite, trying to figure out wtf the standards are, from season to season.
Agreed. Like what happened with Monmouth this year, 27 wins, only 7 losses... tough OOC schedule with big wins on the road versus power conference teams and a 52 RPI.
They still got left at home while teams with worse records and RPIs like Michigan made it to the dance. As sports writers have said over the last few days, they did everything the tournament committee has been saying you need to do to get an at large berth as a small conference school and still got left out.
Who the hell can tell what the committee will decide matters one year from the next?

It was a down year for the SEC in basketball.
The overall conference strength usually is inflated because UK is so good. But this year reflects the overall SEC norm minus UK.

Its bad and its been bad. But let these new coaches do their thing. Its embarrassing that the SEC has let basketball slide.
