And further, they get higher seeds, even as "bubble teams." Thus, a just-in-by-the-skin-of-their-teeth (and shouldn't be in) Syracuse will get a 9 seed while a 30-4 team from non-power conference gets a 15 seed. This way, when Syracuse beats the 8 seed by 2 points and the NPC team loses to the 2 seed by 2 points, they'll talk about how Syracuse's inclusion was justified because they advanced past the first round and how the NPC is "only 1-4 in the tournament in the last four years." I.E., Syracuse gets to play and beat a team like Arizona State while MTSU will be squaring up with Villanova. They use the early seedings to advance the power schools and justify the BS.
Rinse and repeat.
Agree 100%, but as long as MTdoesn't stumble the rest of the way, they'll probably get the dreaded 8/9 game.
They've built enough of a reputation the last 2 years in the tournament and carry a top.25 ranking. They wont be a 14 or 15 seed. I think worst case they are a 10 if they win out.
I doubt it, MTSU seems to be headed to the 11th seed just due to the fact they beat 0 Power Conference Teams which they will be penalized for by com...
W's vs. Ole Miss, at Vandy
sorry 0 with winning records, committee just will move the goal posts to justify for MTSU getting a low seed...
