I dont' care what they're RPI is, they should be in it. Didn't the committee watch Curry last year?? They did play at Oklahoma losing by 4...lost at Purdue, won at West Virginia, beat NC State at home, lost at Duke. It's not like they completely tanked the out of conference beating a BIg EAst tourney team and an ACC team. I guess the home lost to BUtler in the bracket busters kept them out...Curry was coming off an injury in a game he didn't play that they lost to Citadel. So one of their losses was directly related to his injury.
I think their ommission is a disgrace. (yes I know they aren't as good as Creighton, ILl state, ST mary's on the numbers)...there is simply one guy I'd like to see in the tourney...the one I saw last year.

You can't give a team a bid based on what it did the season before. That becomes a really slippery slope that ends up excluding more teams like Davidson than it includes. Two losses to College of Charleston and 1-4 vs. the RPI 1-50 isn't going to get it done. They got embarrassed by a 9-seed at home. Davidson had a chance to get in, and it couldn't even get to the SoCon title. I don't want to see a team like that in the Tournament just because it has a guy who takes 30 shots a game.
