I've done this work. One of the reasons I always supported the tourney was that with a reasonable shot at an at-large, the numbers actually footed (numbers for higher seed hosts, that is... neutral was always rough, and non-1-seed hosting doesn't come close). Even as recently as the beginning of this decade, conferences like the WCC could get as many as 3 teams in. But now that the WCC has had two Top 35 KenPom teams (both St. Mary's) miss out on the tourney in the past three years, it's clear things have changed in a HUGE way. With the way the selection committee operates now, I don't see how it pencils out. |
