    second, Arkansas? Ole Miss and Mississippi State deserved to go before the Hogs (i know the Hogs beat the Bulldogs in the conference tourney, but to me the regular season should mean more)
    Just stop talking, please. Most everyone agrees Syracuse got jobbed.

    Ole Miss? Mississippi State? Honestly, have you even heard of logic?

    PS: Arkansas beat Mississippi State in the regular season less than 3 weeks ago. So now what's your argument?

      Stanford, Illinois and Arkansas might be the three worst teams I can remember making the tourney. From any perspective that you want to look at it from, Syracuse is better than all three of those teams.

        Georgetown is the only Big East team that scares anyone. Pitt and Louisville didn't beat a quality team all year (which is par for the course for Pitt). There's a reason the Big East's RPI rating is so ****ty.

        I look forward to Duke vs Pitt as well, because the ACC's 7th seed is going to give the Big East's 2 seed all it can handle.
        Yeah, and Maryland really played some powerhouses this year to garner a #4 seed.

        I wonder what American University, Siena and Iona's RPI was this year.

          Nah. Georgia making it at 16-14 a few years back was.

              Isn't Conference USA considered a mid-major conference? Cause if it is then a big reason for the decline from 12-6 is simply that a few tourney teams left for the Big East (DePaul, Marquette, Louisville, Cincinatti, USF (to a lesser extent)). Every year 3+ of these teams seem to make the tournament. I don't know, just my thoughts.

                and you complain about Syracuse not getting in? MD's OOC wins over MSU, Winthrop, and Illinois are all better than anything Syracuse brings to the table. What was their best OOC win, Penn?

                  what was Duke's RPI when MD swept them?

                    Oh and for the record, having watched 90% of our games... the Illini didn't deserve to be in.

                      Drexel got screwed by an 18-12 team. Cuse screwed themselves. End of Story

                        Sorryexcuse is not a tournament caliber team, there are at least 10 teams that have a better argument than them

                        have you not seen the SEC West standings? last i checked there were plenty of teams above Arkansas

                          And personally, no SEC West teams deserved to be in.

                            Stanford beat more quality opponents than most other teams on the bubble. They proved themselves worthy against the highest levels on competition.

                            I have no problems with Stanford being in.
