Tuesday

My thought is that they want to give equal rest to all First Four teams, so if Texas is in the Friday/Sunday pod they have to play Wednesday.

ESPN just switched it to Wed. So I guess they agreed with you

There is one reason we got in and that is Tre Johnson. They wanted him in the tourney. 

i think it was all of the metrics rickyweed posted this morning

they had to make up a stat to get the heels in

Except there are three play in games that feed a fri/sun regional.

so someone has to play Tuesday (to have 2 tues games and 2 wed games in Dayton)

So UNC was last team in?

Yep,  and we were at the top of the last 4 in so it turns out we weren't in much jeopardy of missing the tourney.  There had to be 4 conference tourney upsets to knock us out.

It was obvious our resume was better than all the bubble teams. At least the committee got that right.

Happy we're in but this bloated bracket really kills the importance of playing regular season games. I'll never get worked up about losing to a team like South Carolina ever again

It's been a 68-team field for 15 years now

how many tournament bid stealers were there?

1 and it wasn't really a bid stealer to be honest.

Colorado State was already a bubble team and they likely just replaced another bubble team (i.e. Boise State). One of those teams was likely going to get in either way.

I missed it.

 

where are the first/second round games if we get past Xavier?

and what days

If we get past Xavier, then it's Illinois. 2nd round is winner of Kentucky and Troy (Go Trojans!!!)

There's zero reason WV should have been left out but the only reasoning is probably the predictive and result-based metrics. 

Kenpom #53, BPI #51, KPI #48, SOR #43, and WAB #42. The metrics hated WV. 

Someone mentioned that the committee may have taken the Devries injury into account. They haven’t looked like an NCAAT team since mid-January

Helps when the NC AD is the head of the committee lol

Yeah but it wasn't just UNC that got in over WV. It was a lot of bubble teams.

We might be the only bubble team with a better resume than WV.
