This must be the P5 open tournament... Okla-F#%*!ng-Homa?

Saint Mary’s doesn’t get in after going 28-5. Ridiculous

This may be the worst rigged field in history. 5 teams in the final RPI Top 40 didn't get in, and RPI teams 64 and 66 get in.

Horrible bracket composition this year. Talk about a MASSIVE screw over, especially Saint Mary's and MT.

The format of the show sucks. Just show the damn brackets. There is no suspense who received the auto bids and that is what they lead with?

They just **** on wichita state and Marshall by putting them together and sending them both to san Diego. Jfc.

The NCAA is a puppet of the P5. They put in who the P5 tell them to. It’s all part of the plan to separate themselves.

How in the world did New Mexico make it? They lost at UTEP, for god's sakes.

UNM didn’t make it. NMSU did by winning the WAC.

Just checking in. So, let me guess every single borderline bubble team that got in was a P5? Did Oklahoma and Bama make it? I almost know they did.

Guessing this also held true...

The ADs at Stanford, Duke and Kentucky are going to wield the most influence in that room and you can bet your ass that none of those three are going to have MT as even the last four out.

I nominate Sir Charles to be on the selection committee.

The ESPN bracket I saw online definitely said UNM but it was a mistake - they obviously meant to say NMSU.

Actually, Wichita State Head Coach Greg Marshall is a former Marshall assistant, and Wichita State assistant Benedict Donald Jones is a local resident and former Marshall head coach who left us to join arch rival UCF.

Arch rival WVU awaits us in round 2...

Aside from being shipped to California, they gave us a great storyline in a path to the sweet 16 if we can take it...

The NCAA Bracket "Gods" must be crazy!!! First put Marshall against Wichita St. a match up that pits one-time Marshall assistant Greg Marshall against Marshall, if MU beats Wichita, next up is WVU?!? Top it off the whole thing plays out in San Diego....

Neither are even playing in Dayton. Bama's in an 8-9 game, and OU was a 10.

Excellent point. And that is why I haven't watched anything concerning the tournament for many years.

Syracuse......boehiem on the committee?

The NCAA knows what it’s doing. They are marginalizing the non P5 to the level where we will eventually say this is enough and leave. That’s what they want. To separate without looking like they’re kicking us out.

I'm actually good with that. Tired of being humiliated. I'd love to see the NIT become an exclusively G5 tourney.

There was a point in time decades ago where the NIT was the more prestigious tournament to be in over the NCAA.
