Pretty sure 41 equates to second to last in

That’s right. The other Dayton game was 38 vs. 39. Ours is 41 vs. 44.

I see. Thank you! So 2 AQs were sandwiched between us and Colorado State?

Purdue is either losing to another 16 or walking to the Final Four. There is no in-between.

They do have a favorable draw. The similarities to us in 2019 continue

Until they run into us in the E8 again.

If it’s 41-44, shouldn’t we be 11-seeds?

Purdue will have a scare in the first round, will breeze through the second round, but after that, it’s all close games.

Love Leon. The best vibes on the team.

They probably had us on the 10 line from the start, and, like Raleigh’s bracket, shifted the bid stealers to the 11 line and they whittled down the bubble.

Damn guess the coaches weren’t expecting to make it if we weren’t watching as a team. Or maybe Leon just had hw

Exactly what I was thinking. CTB was probably thinking: why make them suffer through this?

McClelland just said the main criteria were winning away from home, noncon SOS, and avoiding bad losses.

Oh, and something about being as good in your first game as you were in your last.

I heard that, but it also sounded to me like he was giving a rather jumbled non-answer; it wasn’t a clear hierarchy of “This is what we valued.” In fact he made a point of calling out that every committee member was valuing different metrics, which means
 in the end they actually didn’t have a clear set of metrics.

But we in so :person_shrugging:

FAU feels like the outlier, they piled up bad losses and got an 8 seed. But a really strong OOC

The olds will remember that, on their last “miracle run” in 1983, Jim Valvano’s Wolfpack knocked us out of both the ACC AND the NCAA tournaments. That was Ralph’s final season in orange and blue. The NCAA game ended a second before a Ralph putback that would have taken us to the Final Four. Can I hold a 41-year grudge? Glad you asked.

So I’m happy we squeaked in, because if that collection of shitbirds had cost Reece & co. their last crack at a touney win, my fury would have been . . . UNQUENCHABLE.

The cherry picked metrics I’m seeing on Twitter saying the BE, Pitt, and Indiana St should’ve gotten in over us are too funny and borderline idiotic. I think my favorite so far is Rodger Sherman saying Indiana State should be in over us because we went 2-7 (.222) in Q1 games. Never mind the fact that Indiana St went 1-4 (.200) in Q1 games.
