New petition: More mid-majors and fewer SEC teams in the NCAA tournament. 1:1 trade.
Don’t forget —— B1G has not lost in the NIT either

And IU declined their NIT invitation which I consider a win also LOL
FAU was another weird situation in the tourney, a team that had one good weekend last year (remember, the first two rounds they beat Memphis and FDU), parlayed that into a ton of clout this fall, had one good win and one close loss (Arizona and Illinois), then finished 3rd in a weak American conference where the regular season champ didn't sniff a bid and the tournament champ was overseeded as a 12.
They had the profile of a bubble team that got an 8 seed, then lost to a 9 seed that was missing 40% of their scoring.

Hilltoppers get so much movement on offense.
Marquette isn’t ready to concede. Out of halftime swinging.
All that good work undone in 3:30.

Marquette looking real strong as they fight back to tie the game.

In case you needed any more evidence the results of a single elimination tournament aren't the be all end all for assessing a team
That team SERIOUSLY underperformed.
So that "New Mexico is actually good and should have gotten something better than an 11 seed" storyline is on life support.
They were an 8 & lost in overtime to a 9.
I don’t think that’s a remarkable failure.
They caught fire last March. That run isn’t really representative of their larger body of work.

so i guess we should not put too much hope in Stetson to help out our brackets? (down 17 in first 8 min)
guess that means Bouie has to go unconscious on Sunday.....

I think it was more "Clemson hasn't been a good team in a month and didn't deserve a 6 seed, so New Mexico should be the better team in this matchup".
Granted, in a one and done, the better team doesn't always win, but New Mexico has not shown up thus far.
If Wisky plays like they did against us, they win.
Last year they were a 9 seed that won the CUSA tournament and caught a huge break when Purdue lost so they could walk to the Sweet 16. That sweet 16 they played really well and squeaked by 2 teams.
This year they effectively were the same team they were for 5 months last year instead of the team they were for one weekend last year.
