I'd like to see them play a B1G schedule.
Our 20-point wins would be 10-point wins?

6 losses would be 10/11.

FWIW, I've been banging this drum for a while. If Iowa loses to UNL this afternoon then loses their BTT opener I think they might miss the Dance.
That seems unlikely, and the only angle for the case would be that whoever they face in the first round is going to be extremely dreadful.

The chances are there going to win that game, and even if they lose to Ohio State, they’ll be fine.

Now 26-5 UNC Wilmington, the #1 seed in the CAA, loses to 9 seed Campbell.

Again not a bid steal situation, but another case where the rep from that conference won't be the best team, and perhaps a less interesting opening round.

Someone has to explain to me a system where the 9 seed from the CAA getting in the tournament is good from EITHER a competition OR entertainment standpoint.

Navy just clinched their first conference title in 26 years.  Still need to win the tournament for their first NCAA birth in 28 years
And they fell in the semifinals to Boston University.

Bummer.  Although BU won the Patriot League tournament in 2020, the night before everything shut down, so if someone has to get that slot, I wouldn't hate it being them, considering one was stolen from them

That's why the NCAA changed the payment structure, to reward winning, and you've seen more conferences switch to a format to reward regular season success.

Yes.

Kentucky is really bad, by the way. Big $$$. No chemistry.

He should be in there, but man it is a bloodbath at top, especially when it comes to guards in this conference.
