Lunardi has 5 from the SEC getting in. I only see 2 deserved

While I don't think Georgia is good, they have a solid profile.  RPI 39, SOS 38.  Kentucky and Arkansas are locks.  Ole Miss and LSU are bubble teams, and at least one should not get a bid.

Georgia 0 wins vs top 50

Great call. They are bubble too.

Given these relatively inferior resumes, why do you think St John's is in a play in game?

Lunardi has now removed Richmond and replaced them with Buffalo. Iona remains in the 3rd position of the next 4 out.

That doesn't seem terribly objective.  I doubt the committee will view it that way.  Losing @ Nova (RPI 3) and to PC in the BET (RPI 21, SOS 5. beat them twice already) after ripping through February is not that bad.

Just my opinion, but I think the committee appreciates good play to finish the year. Not thumpings.

So are you saying that two losses to top 21 teams, including a road loss to a likely 1 seed, to close the season will put a team like Georgia higher on the S-Curve than SJU?  I understand your perspective but it really is not logical given bottom end of the at large contenders.

I don't think Georgia deserves a bid.  As for the 2 losses, it wasn't even close,  poor showing. Again, just my opinion

Of this group of 21 teams fighting for ~15 at large bids, who do you think deserves to dance:

St. John's, Oregon, NC State, Dayton, LSU, Georgia, Colorado State, OK State, Boise State, Texas, Purdue, Temple, Ole Miss, Indiana, BYU, UCLA, Texas A&M, Old Dominion, Miami, Tulsa, Richmond

By the numbers (RPI, SOS, KenPom, top 50/100 wins), SJU has at worst a top 10 resume in this group.

Baldi I ain't defending how we played the last two games but based on the numbers and what the experts are saying we are probably a 7, at worst 8-10.

That's where you think we'll end up?  Or that's where you'd put us?

I mean if that's where you'd put us, that's fine, you're entitled to your opinion.  But I assure you our profiles are easily ahead of the 10 and 11 seeded teams.  I can't see our true seed being lower than a 9 (could get dropped to a 10 for geography purposes and whatnot).  I think 8 is most likely.  I guess we'll find out soon enough!
