Do you think the Mountain West was a little overrated?
Four teams got in and two are already out. Utah State is getting blown out.
Boise State had a better record and beat SD State on their tournament but was left out and SDST got in. What is going on with selection committee?
The NCAAT is fine. It's everything around it that needs fixing. Figure out how the NIT can get its prestige back, including moving the final back to MSG. Possibly consolidate the non-NCAAT events into a 64-team NIT. Push back the portal window so more power conference teams are willing to participate in the NIT.
Conferences should start limiting the amount of teams who make their tournaments to 8-10. Games like the 12/13 matchups in Denton this year probably end up costing leagues money because fans are not travelling for mediocre teams and nobody is watching/streaming. If the top-ranked team in the SWAC wins the tournament, too, they'll still be a Cinderella in the Big Dance, just like a 9th or 10th seeded champion would be.
