Those teams who got left without a chair when the NCAA stopped the music –The “Snubs”– will get a little love from Hoops Scoops. But this is as far as we will go. Teams in the tournament will get all of the ink from this point on.
Selection Committee member Mike Bobinski on scheduling: “Road wins are a big thing for me. I like to see teams that are willing to challenge themselves away from home. Teams that would take a chance really make a difference.”
Selection Committee Chairman Jeff Hathaway on Seton Hall: “Seton Hall had a very solid year; they had a tough stretch at the end of the year. At the end of the day, they were a quality team but we knew some quality teams weren’t going to be a part of the 37.”
