Poor babies. 

Why put up 50k to play? Davis may be getting ready to clean house. Maybe they were afraid Robert Morris would get a bid lol.

Tickets were sold out before brackets were announced at most sites. NCAA already has their money.

RE: Texas A&M. Going into the conference tournament, most had A&M around that 6 or 7 seed mark. UK the same. Why are we acting shocked it played out that way?

Look, I get A&M did great during conference play, but the committee can't ignore being handled (not just losing) to Murray State, Boise State, and Colorado. Plus a loss to Wofford.

I look at the the brackets and the net rankings and have a hard time figuring out how net rankings factor into seeding. Or are net rankings not used for seeding?

I don't think they are, I feel like I read something somewhere that said they aren't factored, but I could also be making that up.

Still plenty of overpriced tickets available at Greensboro, so definitely the NCAA knew what they were doing.

Nearly all of the ones online for sale are being resold...NCAA got their money first.

At one time NIT wanted 50k up front to play. May have changed.

From what the committee seemed to say. They do use the NET for a baseline, but seem to look more at the quad 1 and quad 2 columns from it. Then also still factor in wins and losses, because a team like Arkansas was top 20 in NET but based on overall record had the committee move them down some in their rankings to number 30. Then true road wins were also factored in. Now in some cases the NET rankings weren’t close. However,  it seems for a lot the NET rankings were either plus or minus one seed from where their NET ranking was for a lot of schools. 
 

Here is a link of how the committee ranked the teams for the tournament.
