As you all probably know from my posts before the selection committee picked the field of 68 I am not happy in the slightest. Also I am tired of hearing about how USC, Oklahoma State and Middle Tennessee got more screwed than us.
First, I agree that USC and Middle Tennessee got screwed, but not any worse than us. Oklahoma State on the other hand lost 10 games in their conference, hence having an 8-10 Record. All 4 teams that were 8-10 should of been left out, and so should Alabama and Syracuse.
I'm not here to argue anymore that Nebraska didn't get into the Tournament, I am here now to discuss their NIT seeding. I know it has been said in multiple ways, but I want to share with you this. You guys tell me with a straight face and no anti-Nebraska basketball\Creighton fan syndrome how this is even possible
According to ESPN/Kenpom
Stanford (3 Seed in the NIT)
- Overall Record = 18-15
- Conference Record = 11-7
- Kenpom: 84
- BPI: 98
- SOS: 70
- SOR: 95
- RPI: 81
Nebraska(5 Seed in the NIT)
- Overall Record = 22-10
- Conference Record = 13-5
- Kenpom: 57
- BPI: 63
- SOS: 58
- SOR: 31
- RPI: 56
First before you start raddling off it's all about the Q1 and Q2 wins like every argument against Nebraska does... I want you to look at those numbers real close and tell me Stanford should be in the NIT field let alone a 3 Seed. Hell they should be behind Indiana and Maryland let alone Nebraska in the NIT field. This Stanford team that has no business being mentioned in the same breath as Nebraska this year, and it is a big part of why we don't have a home game this year in the NIT.
This is beyond Quadrants, this is flat out wrong.
