I kinda think SMU got screwed worse than when UW won the conference and didn't get in. I like how the committee claims they've stopped paying attn to "what have you done lately" but seems to really despise first round conference tournament losses. Goes to show why more than a few coaches have been vocal on why they don't like them.

Nobody ever gets truly screwed as in "there's no way that ever should have happened," but as far as truly surprising snubs go, I think both were up there. My ultimate point being that the SMU one was more surprising.
SMU went 12-7 in the #6 conference in America and played a horrible nonconference schedule:http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2014/schedule/SMUThe fact that they were close to making the field further proves that the tournament should be shrunk back down to 64 teams.

It's a pretty decent conference that has multiple title contenders. Certainly, their non-conference schedule is the ultimate justification. Still, you are way off base if you think that it wasn't a surprise or their consideration is reason that the field should be reduced. SMU swept UCONN, beat Memphis, and curb stomped Cincy. Pomeroy has SMU at 32. I'm not in the minority here. NC State? BYU? Explain those...

The whole field is a #fuckingdreckfest after the 4th seed line.

Sure, Cinderella stories are nice if you give a fuck, but basically, fucking dreckfest. Just make the entry point the sweet sixteen. Fuck.

A field of 64 teams in the playoffs makes NCAA bball pretty cool and unique.Still not as fun to watch as football, but it's definitely the 2nd most entertaining major collegiate sport... unless your school's volleyball team has some nice asses, then it comes in a distant 3rd.

It was cool and unique when there was some quality. I watched some Big Least Tournament game and Gawd Providence had 17 points at the half and they missed two lay-ups. Ratings on this shit have to be down. It's a terrible product. These corrupt AAU fag coaches let these 15 yr. old kids play ratball and emphasize athleticism over fundamentals so it's no wonder.
It's pathetic that half the tournament it seems are these fucking schools no ones ever heard of except their own dreckfest conferences. Like Wichita State, your school's name is "Wichita State," ya you made the final four last year, but still, GTFO.
