I should be working on a grant proposal but the madness is consuming me today. Do I think IU should be in the tourney? Probably not. But do some of these other teams on the bubble deserve it more? ESPN has ASU, Temple, St. John's and TCU as their last four in. CBS has NC State, TCU, St. John's, and Belmont.
What are your thoughts? IU's 17 wins just doesn't look pretty next to these 20+ win teams but I think a case can be made. ASU is meh and the PAC-12 stinks. Temple didn't really beat anyone. NC State scored like 20 points one game. I usually change the channel when TCU or St. John's are playing. So, yeah, that's my justification.
Plus, I take the first two days of March Madness off every year and it would be kind of the selection committee to give me someone to root for.
