Portland State

[Kadeezy]

Does anyone else think that Portland State got shafted? I know they had some bad losses, but I thought their strong finish would warrant at least a 15 seed, 14 seed at best....

I agree.

However, at least they didn't get shafted with the play-in game.

Their RPI sealed their fate at the 16 seed. At least if they had the play-in game, they would get a chance to be credited with an NCAA Tourney win before losing to a one-seed...lol.

If the RPI sealed their fate, then the Committee is talking out both sides of their mouth. They said (as they continually do), that the RPI is meaningless. Yet they apply that logic to one situation, but cite it for someone else getting the shaft. They don't know how to get their story straight.

Perhaps Bob Knight's 128-team idea would fix this. Then again, maybe that would just stick the snub jobs down the list to the .400 teams....
