2014
Left out: Arkansas (21-11), Belmont (24-9), California (19-13), Florida State (19-13), Georgetown (17-14), Louisiana Tech (27-7), Minnesota (20-13), St. John’s (20-12), SMU (23-9), Toledo (26-6), Wisconsin-Green Bay (24-6)
Multi-bid conferences: 10
Sometimes the ball bounces in one direction, sometimes in another, but it’s not as if there weren’t candidates. The committee could’ve easily selected a team like Toledo with a 26-6 record in the No. 12-ranked conference, no top 50 wins (in one chance) but a 6-4 record vs. teams 51-100. Belmont was the best team in the Ohio Valley all year, went 4-6 against the top 100 including a top 25 win at North Carolina, and was 9-8 against the top 150. Louisiana Tech was 2-2 against the top 50, 5-5 vs. the top 100 and won 26 NCAA Division I games, including at NCAA 5 seed Oklahoma. Wisconsin-Green Bay with a 4-2 mark against the top 100 and a win over an eventual NCAA tourney 1 seed Virginia in December was clearly considered, as it was mentioned as one of the first teams left out.
