How does UCLA or Texas get bid over Colorado State?

[lowell]

Bruins have RPI or 48 with 2-8 record on the road and a 2-4 record on neutral court. They have one win over ranked team which was Utah at Pauley. Idiot on committee said they were chosen because they " Were gathering steam by losing to Arizona by 70-64"
CSU has RPI of 30 with away record of 8-4 and 4-1 record on neutral court.
As for Texas or Ole Miss it is all about the money.
Temple deserved to be in before them. Texas had 8-10 record in the Big 12.

Texas did not deserve to be in the tourney

You are absolutely right

I would have picked Temple and Miami FL over UCLA and Indiana....But there is a reason and most people know why UCLA, Indiana, and Texas were selected and not Colorado State, Miami FL, Temple, etc....

Yea thats a shame....

Csu is legit....so is miami

Texas is the worst of them all....how they picked them over temple miami csu....crazy


Id rather watch uconn or richmond try and make a run....forget texas...

Csu to lose 6 games all year in 33 attempts...shame they didnt have a chance...

The one team i was really rooting for....and woulda liked to see get a chance
...Rhode island...just because ....

Ole Miss lost 4 or their last 5 and got in. That's ridiculous.

Texas went 8-10 in the toughest conference with wins over WVa and Baylor.
Texas only lost 1 game to a non-tournament team (Stanford).
Texas struggled with injuries to key players mid-season when they saw many losses
Texas has the 12th rated SOS (CSU was somewhere around 120)
Texas had TWELEVE games against top 25 RPI. CSU had ZERO.


CSU should have been in the tournament. No argument there. It didnt help them they played in the 12th best basketball conference.

UCLA should not have been in.
