Regional Placements

ECU with an RPI in the 20s and didnt win their tournament…in the #12 RPI conference is a bit of a surprise. But it helps to have a committee member.

Arizona hosting with a 31 RPI and 3-9 vs Q1 is also of note. But won their reg season and tourney. Kinda makes you think the Cajuns had a shot had they won theirs, although the west coast teams get a pass at times.

The RPI does actually disenfranchise the west coast and Arizona is actually a good team … certainly a bubble national seed. I would still have had them as a #2 seed, but I am ok with this. I like having three regionals out west.

ECU on the other hand, did not deserve a national seed in my opinion. I thought Duke earned it.

I am glad that they saw through the Indiana State RPI inflation. They do not have a national seed resume.

What all of this says is that they still very much value conference regular season champions (at least of the higher ranked conferences). It will be interesting to see whether this carries through to the #10 RPI conference and College of Charleston is awarded a bid.

That’s why Deggs was talking about hosting we win our tournament makes you wonder do we get that spot from ECU or Arizona. Man that is disappointing hosting was a legitimate shot

Just for fun, I decided to put the selection rpi next to these hosts. I find it interesting that Duke and Dallas Baptist, by winning their conference championship today, passed up Oregon State, who was at #16 yesterday.
