Well said about Tubby.

Journy LOL about Dayton.They had some good wins early but choked down the stretch. Any team that has that kind of record in the A-10 isn't really that worthy of a bid.

I recognize Dayton struggled down the stretch, but that was due in large part to injuries.  Dayton's Record, SOS and RPI were all better than Kentucky.  Like I said, Kentucky benefitted from a weakened SEC this year.  There were two good teams in the SEC and the rest were mediocre to garbage.

"Like I said, Kentucky benefitted from a weakened SEC this year. There were two good teams in the SEC and the rest were mediocre to garbage."

Arguments could be made all day over who made it and who didn't, but by your own measure, Dayton went 8-8 in a league that was worse than the "mediocre to garbage" that the SEC was, vs. a UK team that had as many, and with an honest eye, more injuries than Dayton, and went 12-4 in conference.

I'm not defending UK's entry over the general populace, but the case you make for Dayton in that example, over UK, is a weak one.

wordjockey hit the nail on the head.

Dayton had many impressive non-conference wins (Louisville and Pitt come to mind). We all know that the selection committee looks at wins down the stretch more so than wins in November and December. Dayton had injuries but Kentucky was banged up and injured throughout the whole season. Jodie Meeks and Derrick Jasper were never 100% and Pat Patterson missed the last part of the year. Bottom line is despite the injuries the Cats found a way to win in a "mediocre to garbage" league that was still better than the A-10. I agree that the case for Dayton is weak in this case, other teams have stronger arguments, but you could find weaknesses in each team.

Can we at least all agree that a bubble team that does poorly down the stretch, no matter the conference, is in big trouble on selection Sunday?
