No wonder Tulsa got in - the chair of the selection committee is from Oklahoma. We need to make sure he hears it from the Bona world. These moves have consequences. Corrupt process.

Ugghhhh sorry I posted the "leak" but yeah it sucks Leaked before the games were even finished. Michigan State might have wanted to know that they couldn't get a one with their win.

We got FUC!!D!! A lot of good that A10 Champions Banner is going to do without an NCAA banner next to it! Anybody hear any interviews with those asshole committee members as to why our rpi didn't mean jack?

Incredible - not a single mention during the wrap up with the committee chair of SBU - makes me think the A10 office did nothing in the way of lobbying committee members.

The first two criteria for getting into the dance according to Castiglione NCAA CEO was strength of schedule and RPI. I belive our RPI was considerably higher than many teams that got in, certainly higher than Cuse. Well thats all a moot point now, in the end the Bonnies had a superb season no one saw coming. Thanks Brown and White, and lets keep this season going in the NIT. I remember when I was a senior at Bona's in 77' we were ecstatic with being in the NIT and winning it was beyond memorable. Go Bona's

Who teams that scheduled tough and went out of their way to play the brand name conference: Monmouth and George Washington.
They had good OOC seasons but nothing to show for it.
Don't think scheduling is a penacia.
VCU was nearly left out with a ough OOC schedule.
The schedule is fine.

Was it Devine intervention for Coach Schmidt to be at the game with his boys and watch this once in life time event?
I'm SO happy for the Schmidt family! They deserve this happiness!

It's money, money, money! Good effort isn't enough in the NCAA. If we had made the tournament, our game probably would not have been shown, except in the Buffalo market, unless we had been scheduled against one of the big boys like Kentucky, North Carolina, or Kansas. Notice two #1 seeds from the same conference.

bona beat st joes twice once on the road and on a neutral floor. vandy should have been left out, but SEC doesnt hurt them getting in.

SOS is bullshit because power5 teams have guaranteed homes games within conference. We play p5 schools on the road. Why can't other Catholic schools schedule with us? Who has the phone# for the Vatican?
