Who Needs The Bubble When You’re A10 Champions?

I hear you, but let's look at this year.

Currently:

Oklahoma is 20 - 12 (6 - 12). Their Q1/2 record is 11 -11

VCU is 25 -6 (15 -3). Our Q1/2 record is 6-5.

It's not so cut and dry, is all I am saying.

can agree that it is not all cut and dry

Oklahoma has played 20 games against teams with a NET better than 50 (won 9 of them) (won 6 vs teams with NET 34 or better)

VCU has played 1 game agaisnt a team with NET better than 50 (lost to New Mex) (our two quad 1 Ws are barely quad 1)

inherent advaantage of a team in a top 3 conference vs a good/great high-mid major from a meh conference like the a-10 (MWC still gets 4 or 5 quad 1 games within conference on avg - though come 2026 they lose best teams to new Pac 10 (12) conf?

need a better tool to evaluate resumes of teams like VCU that are unable to schedule teams with NETs of 50 or lower becasue they won't play us in OOC - GOOD LUCK eith forcing that to happen

and first step should be finding a way to bring balance to the selection committee (maybe a committee of representatives without any commection to a specific school or conference in D1)

go RAMS (win Friday and we are IN)

What ranked conference were they in though? Our conference is ranked seventh. Apples and oranges.

not sure where MVC was ranked as a conference.... but them & Drake were basically neck & neck all season & Indiana State was even ranked (albeit on #25) in the AP Poll at one point in the season... which is more than our conference can say last year.
 
The Big 12* court looks like a hologram or LCD screen. I prefer designs that don't forget it's a hardwood floor.
 
Minus the MTE, if we played our entire OOC schedule on the road at the top 11 ACC schools, I still don’t think we would have had as many Q1 opportunities as OU.
 
According to Lunardi's updated projections as of Last Night.... VCU is listed as the Auto Bid for the A10, as an 11 seed in the South Region.

Last starting time in MWC tournament today. If it could go long e.g. 2OT, it could be undecided until the next day. 11:59 PM start time, I guess wherever timezone their in.
