When I look at Niagara and Creighton's resumes I'm not seeing much difference. Add to it that Niagara destroyed Illinois St in the bracket buster and then Illinois St destroyed Creighton in the MVC semis and I don't see how Creighton can be in and Niagara not even under consideration. Neither looks like an NCAA tourney team to me, even in a weak bubble.
i know, and it's a shame that Niagara that doesn't really show up on the radar even though their page isn't much different from some of the other teams that have had 8,9 chances at top teams are are 2-7 against the top 50. Here is exactly what the selection committee looks at on a team by team basis, I love this site.
