A committee works better anyways when the amount of teams is higher

Hoops is what different. Can’t really even compare them.

I don’t think we were ever a lock for a NY6. Just hopeful for fairness.

We couldn’t even beat “Coastal Carolina”. Who cares if we weren’t ranked fairly?

1/23/21 5:38pm

And Iowa State couldn’t even beat *checks notes*
