Teams That Should NOT Have Made Tourney Lose To Prove the Point

When the brackets were announced on Sunday night, I questioned how the Selection Committee could snub a team like Virginia Tech yet include teams like Oklahoma, South Alabama, Villanova, Baylor, Arizona, Oregon and Texas A&M.

For the record Oklahoma defeated St. Joseph's, and Texas A&M squeaked by BYU.

But the rest of those teams looked like NIT-worthy squads.  South Alabama lost by 20, Baylor by 11 to a Big 10 team, Arizona lost to West Virginia by 10, Oregon gave away a game to Mississippi State, and Villanova has yet to play Clemson tonight. That's 2-4 so far.  

Even though Oklahoma and Texas A&M won, those seven teams did not deserve to make the tournament.
