I hope they get in, but it doesn’t look good. Right now Joe Lunardi has them as 2nd team out after New Mexico. They can’t afford any more conference auto bid surprises
Don’t understand how A&M is in with their resume, hopefully the lose today. How Oklahoma isn’t closer to being out in his bracket is weird too, 3 road wins all year, under .500 in conference and 12 quad 1 losses, doesn’t that show they can’t hang with the ncaa tourney teamsI hope they get in, but it doesn’t look good.

Dayton is another team that I have no clue why they are solidly in as an at large. Their metrics are good, but their best win is against St. John’s, a bubble team. And they didn’t win their conference regular season and were knocked out in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.Don’t understand how A&M is in with their resume, hopefully the lose today.

Dayton’s resume/metrics are barely better than Indiana State’s. Yet Dayton is a projected 7-8 seed and Indiana State is projected out. The difference in conference rank is a grand total of 1.Dayton is another team that I have no clue why they are solidly in as an at large.

Look at the non-conference. Dayton has the #9 NC SOS, while Indiana State is down at #318. If you swapped the non-conferences, Indiana State is safely in and Dayton is the one on the wrong side of the bubble.Dayton’s resume/metrics are barely better than Indiana State’s.

Not that I think it’s a big deal, but since we are going to say that the Tree’s should get in because of their 28 NET ranking, Dayton has a 22 NET.Dayton’s resume/metrics are barely better than Indiana State’s.

Yep. I want the Trees in as much as anyone here, but Dayton has a more impressive noncon schedule.Look at the non-conference. Dayton has the #9 NC SOS, while Indiana State is down at #318.

You sure about that? If Indiana state finished third in the Valley and got bounced in the quarterfinals like Dayton did in their conference tournament, would they still get in if they had the #9 non conference schedule?Look at the non-conference.

I 100% believe that. I said switch the non-conferences schedules. Indiana State would be a lock if they picked up 3 Quad-1 wins in the non-conference.You sure about that? If Indiana state finished third in the Valley and got bounced in the quarterfinals like Dayton did in their conference tournament, would they still get in if they had the #9 non conference schedule?
I just don’t think Dayton did enough in conference to be an at large. And that conference isn’t that much better than the Valley. That conference is a one bid league if Dayton actually won the conference tournament.
But you are correct in that Indiana States non conference was weak and that also with the Illinois State loss at home might doom them.
Bradley’s 58 NET should lock them in the NIT. It is going to be hard to get teams to commit to the NIT because of player’s entering the Portal.Texas A&M beat UK. Indiana State is in trouble.
If they go to the NIT and Bradley gets bounced, it might be worth it.
Indiana State's program as they know it today is going to be unrecognizable is about 30 days. Maybe in a week!Texas A&M beat UK. Indiana State is in trouble.

Bradley is not getting bounced with a 58 NET.Indiana State's program as they know it today is going to be unrecognizable is about 30 days. Maybe in a week!
Yep. If Drake, Indy, and Belmont all have new coaches, there will be ZERO excuses for Pedon not having us at the top of the MVC in 24-25. Zero!Bradley is not getting bounced with a 58 NET.
And yes, I would guess that both Indiana State and Belmont will be decimated by the portal and probably coaching changes. And if the DeVries move on from Drake the MVC will be wide open in 2024-25. Going to be an interesting couple of weeks.
