No time to break-down the play-in game for you. Troubling as it is, Arkansas-Pine Bluff is going to get screwed out of their first ever tournament bid. The Golden Lions have never been in the NCAA tournament and are stuck in this play-in game. I heard a great idea on sports radio this week. How about we let two bubble-teams play in? This way, schools who AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY FOR THE NCAA TOURNAMENT will actually get to PLAY IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. I think it's a wonderful idea.
So for this tournament, I would recommend the following:
Winthrop and Arkansas-PB would be 16 seeds
Vermont would kick up to a 15
North Texas would kick to a 14
Oakland can get a 13 seed
Siena to a 12
Cornell to an 11
AND
Minnesota could play-in against Utah State for an eleven seed in the tournament.
More people would care about/watch the game and all the auotmatic qualifiers would get a real tourament game.
I don't know the likelihood of this happening, so for this season, you'll see:
The Winthrop Eagles handily advance to the tournament and give Duke some early trouble before heading back home.
