conference record, but it's not just that.  It's that there were 4 teams better than them in conference that were passed over.  I mean, I've never seen more random crap selection in any tourney that I can remember.  The NIT seriously just stood up and said, yes we're taking one of the worst teams from the WCC for no reason and we're not even putting them as an 8 seed.

I guess one should never think they've seen it all because the corruptibility of the human soul knows no bounds.
