If we don’t make it to the conference championship game I think we are done and obviously we have to beat temple on senior night

Obvious Bid Stealing conference (non P5/BE/AAC) tourneys to monitor/root for the below teams:

MWC - SDSU
A10 - Dayton
ASUN - Liberty
Ivy - Yale
MVC - Northern Iowa
Southern - ETSU
MAC - Akron

The bolded teams above could definitely produce bid stealers. I don't think Liberty, Yale, or Akron have realistic chances. Stephen F Austin from the Southland has a better resume than any of those teams in my opinion. They have a win at Duke and only three total losses.

I think they're worthy to monitor, since you never know what the committee overvalues on a given year. SFA has a lower NET than all the teams above.

Lunardi has Northern Iowa as the last team in, bumping us out.

im really not sure how their resume is better than ours. 19 quad 3 and 4 wins.

**sedziobs** · 03-06-2020, 03:56 PM

I don't get it either. UNI's season is finished though. Any wins for us could move us in front. Also, Lunardi has Tulsa in as the AQ. So if there are no bid steals, we would be in.

How the hell does northern Iowa get it over us with 4 tier 1 and 2 wins?

112 SOS too

cincrulz11 · 03-06-2020, 04:15 PM

maybe cause their net is so high (before that L).

when it sinks maybe he drops them.

it’s definitely a bias for us, all the other bubble teams are talking about us having 4 q3 losses
