Illinois State's HC, regarding not playing good enough competition in non conf. man's got a point, every year some mid major gets lol'd @ for lack of wins but only a handful of programs that may make the tournament consider playing them.
since it's 2017, they tweeted a challenge and ole miss seems to have accepted. Good for them.
I'm hoping seeds hold and they get Illinois at home in the NIT.
This is why its important for the selection committee to give very clear critera for what gets you in and what gives you a higher seed.
But instead, theyre vague and move the goalposts not only every year, but seemingly with every teams explanation in the same year so they can continue to be biased and do whatever they want I guess?
Illinois State won more games than Vandy and had a higher RPI than vandy and was left out while Vandy was a 9 seed. I dont really care because Im not an Illinois State fan, but it would be nice to know exactly/specifically WHY they made some of the decisions they made(Wisconsin an 8 seed while Minnesota is a 5?!) so coaches at places like Illinois State can adjust and do whatever they need to do.
