Iowa State has lost 4 of their last 5 and could end up finishing the season with 12 losses - some of which
are fairly bad losses - to 12-18 West Virginia, Arizona, TCU and yet their NET is dang-near in the single digits
because this formula rewards teams who stay away from midmajors!!

Then you have Indiana which they say could still get in the NCAA Tournament!
Indiana is now 15-14 with a non-conference Strength of Schedule of 161!!
... and their record in the Big Ten is 6-12 - deep in the Big Ten - tied in wins with 12th place Penn State
and behind Rutgers & Illinois who nobody believes are anywhere near an at-large bid!!

.... West Virginia...

West Virginia, barring major upset, will finish their season tonight against Kansas
and will end up with a record of 14-20
...altho they believe they can still win the Big 12 Tournament and go to the NCAA - http://dubvnation.com/wvu-keeping-ncaa-hopes-alive/

but they have already put up the fee and guaranteed themselves a spot in the CBI

I am SOOOOOOOOOO glad that we are not playing in one of these 'tournaments'. I do enjoy the extended season, but finishing under .500 and playing post-season basketball makes me feel dirty.
