Excellent find......and when the "big _____s...errr....boys" decide to take the stick sports and make them "head count" scholarship sports, like Football and Basketball are, which will mean much more expense, what will happen to those sports at G5 schools?

Marlin doesn't need to be miffed. He hasn't had a team yet worthy of an at large NCAA or NIT bid. He could be miffed if he did, but he should just shut the ____ up until he actually has a beef about his teams.

We are exactly where we belong.

I think if the Cajuns have LR record, with the star power like Long, we could have been considered for an at large.

If we had Little Rocks' record, we'd have had Little Rock's result.

We played only one team besides Little Rock that had a top 50 RPI.

Shawn Long has done a lot. No one on the committee would have given a ____.

It was so bad this year, had Little Rock lost, not only would they not have gotten in, they wouldn't have gotten the time of day from the committee.

...and that's despite beating the Mountain West regular season champion and that juggernaut Tulsa, both on the road.

The chairman would have said, well they lost to App State.

I'm saying our schedule with LR record. That would have meant winning at ALA, MIAMI, Pepperdine or UCLA. Going something like 2-2 in those games.

And yes, I believe star power plays into it.

Not this year......the committee turned the selection process into a train wreck
