[QUOTE="LVH, post: 2658017, member: 71239"] Here is why you shouldn't overreact to one bad loss in non conference play. One questionable non conference loss does not mean your NCAA hopes are over, that you are destined to finish in the bottom of the league, that the season is lost. Virginia Tech - 8 seed, Lost to Saint Louis who finished the year 17-16 and 9-9 in the A10 Alabama - 9 seed, Lost to UCF who finished 19-13 and 9-9 in the AAC Florida - 6 seed, lost to Loyola Chicago at home before people knew they were good. I don't think Lipscomb this year is as good as Loyola was last year but Lipscomb is definitely an under the radar team right now. St. Bonaventure - Made NCAA tourney as an at-large 11 seed despite home loss to Niagara. Arkansas - Lost by 26 at Houston yet still made tourney as a 7 seed. Purdue - Lost to Western Kentucky, still made tourney as a 2 seed. Seton Hall - 8 seed. Lost to a Rutgers team that went 3-15 in the Big 10 NC State - 9 seed, Lost to Northern Iowa who went 16-16 and UNC Greensboro(who last year I think was comparable to Lipscomb). Clemson - Lost to 17-16 Temple, yet still made tourney as 5 seed and made Sweet 16. Auburn - Also lost to Temple, made tourney as 4 seed. TCU - Lost to 12-20 Vanderbilt, still made tourney as 6 seed Missouri - 8 seed, lost to 14-18 Illinois Houston - Lost to Drexel who finished 13-20, still got 6 seed. Providence - Lost to 13-20 UMass, 10 seed. North Carolina - Lost at home to Wofford that finished 4th in the Southern Conference. 2 seed. Kansas State - Lost to Tulsa, got in as 9 seed, made Elite 8 Arizona - Lost to SMU who went 17-16, got 4 seed. Miami FL - Got 6 seed despite losing to New Mexico State by 9 on a neutral floor. Loyola Chicago - Made Final Four despite 34 point losses to Boise State and 17 points to Wisconsin-Milwaukee Nevada - At large 7 seed despite loss to San Francisco(9-9 in West Coast Conference) [/QUOTE]
