Cincy got robbed....bigtime!! :argue:

Air Force: 22-6, 49 RPI, 158 SoS, 0-1 vs RPI Top 50. 7-3 in the last 10 games. Best win vs BYU.

Cincinnati: 18-12, 40 RPI, 5 SoS, 4-8 vs RPI Top 50. 5-5 in the last 10 games. Best win vs LSU.

[alfus21]

I agree with you on this easily yellow snow..Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen in my entire life as far as the bracket goes...Cinci. is the best team to never make it in....Amazing...

[98]

Complete bullsh*t is exactly what it is .

[alfus21]

Im so pissed off about it, and thats about all I can say...Cinci. after all theyd been through deserved to get in over freakin' Air Force who didnt even play anybody

[/quote]Exactly.

[alfus21]

The fact that Air Force only played one RPI top 50 team says all you need to know....Then you have Tennessee with a freakin' 2 seed..What in the hell were they thinkin' this year?

[Tomcat68]

Like they saying on ESPN, nobody thinks Tennessee actually got a 2 seed.  Everyone was in consensus that they received it where sometimes teams have to be moved up or down a seedline for some reason or another. 

[-STAT-]

Very surprised Cincy didnt make it. Even more surprised Air Force did make it.

Also thought Florida State should have been too.  And how could they leave out Missouri State?  A Dook conspiracy - plain and simple.  :lol:

Florida State has one of the bottom 20 non conference schedules in the nation, so I think the committe made an example to teams from now on to schedule some good teams before getting into conference play...

[corndog23]

I dont know Alfus. Air Force played NOONE!!  I think its a joke Cincy is not is this tournament. Shame on the committee. I hate cincy so bad but they should be in this tournament!!!!

:lol: Nothing to do with loyalty...They just didnt deserve to get in...They deserved it over Air Force, but then didnt deserve it either...

[CatDawg]

Air Force shouldn't have been in but neither should Cincy. 

Missouri St. had the highest RPI ever not to make the dance.  RPI 19

[corndog23]

Your right catdawg, but the MVC was the most over inflated RPI conference EVER!

[UKGIRL20]

I think Cincy should of been in, and I also think it is insane to put uconn,north carolina,michigan st., illinois,and tennessee all in the same region. Not to mention putting Kentucky in there with them I wish they would of put us in the same region as Duke.

I dont know about that. Maybe though. It may be that the NCAA now owns the NIT and they wanted people to watch that tourny too! Well if thats the case then it worked. That is a tough field of teams! Maryland, Cincinatti, Louisville, and Michigan the #1 seeds!  South Carolina, Notre Dame, Western Kentucky, Charlotte, and Missouri St.!!  What a field!

Could it be a conspiracy of the NCAA to try and get more people to watch the NIT??

[CLEAN-UP HITTER]

Yeah Cincinnati Should be in there before alot of teams
