Illinois State lost their chance for a bid today, too?

Having Arizona and Kentucky make it is a joke. ISU deserves a bid before both of them.

I can see Kentucky in for ironically the same reason as ISU. Strong conference record in a decent conference. A bad conference tourney for them though.

And now with Georgia about to win, this could be the end for ISU.

The Valley knows what it needs to do next year to get more bids. As messed up as the A-10 was this year, those good wins by the assumed three NCAA teams from that conference really helped them out.

Kentucky's RPI is 60 and ISU's is 32. There is no question that ISU should be in ahead of Kentucky.

I think Doug Elgin should send the NCAA all the requests from the MVC to the BSC conferences to play home and aways ... and all of the no thank yous the MVC receives in reply. The committee, if they have any cojones and integrity will not include Kentucky in this year's bracket.

Well, the RPI is one component. I was just talking about the conference record and few quality wins as a comparison. But you're right. Everything else is a wash, and in this case, the RPI should be the deciding factor.

The cr*p just hit the fan. Oregon and kentucky got in the South region. What a sham.
