Tiny little conference trying to act all BIG time and everything….. stupid. All teams should be included !!Big 10 is dumb for not taking everyone. I get it. You don’t want someone to get a “bad loss” but still, dumb.

I thought their white out on big Monday against ISU was the best atmosphere I have seen in any of the new 8 schools by far and as good as the elite big 12 venues.
Everyone must shop at the company store.
It's just propaganda. Gotta protect the brands. That's all the mother ship cares about.Both are 6-12 in conference. Just no.

I’d almost be ok with saying you have to finish 500 or above. Won’t ever happen but agree there should be a cut off. When you get destroyed on a regular basis it has to matter. Another reason net is so bad, whatever metrics are used need to take into account when the wins/losses happenThis would be a bad precedent to set. Conference realignment has consequences. And if you can finish above 33% in your conference, you don’t deserve to make the tournament, I don’t care how good your conference is seen as.
There is a difference in 8-10 and 6-12 too. There is no way 6-12 with easy non con shouldn’t be rewarded in my opinion.I’d almost be ok with saying you have to finish 500 or above.

In a 68 team tournament, "Are you any good at playing basketball" should have SOME weight, though.Conference record isn't a tournament factor though. Arguably it shouldn't be. Teams shouldn't be punished for being in a more demanding conference.
Separating out conference record is a pretty poor way of doing things, just as is separating out NCSOS.
I wish more people would remember this. People can disagree with it all they want but I believe the committee has sheets for each team and like you said conference record is nowhere on that sheet.Conference record isn't a tournament factor though. Arguably it shouldn't be. Teams shouldn't be punished for being in a more demanding conference.

Not arguing your point. I was just wondering, of all the NCAA March Madness winners, which team finished lowest in their conference standings? Might be a good question for @cyclones500. He's good at digging that info up.Conference record isn't a tournament factor though. Arguably it shouldn't be. Teams shouldn't be punished for being in a more demanding conference.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I thought the McKale center was super loud in person on that MondayI thought their white out on big Monday against ISU was the best atmosphere I have seen in any of the new 8 schools by far and as good as the elite big 12 venues.
