Second, I was not saying Utah St wasn't deserving to get in or anyone claimed they shouldn't get in.

My point was, that in my mind CoffeeCan set up that blind resume to make UD look like a worthy discussion point for an at large selection. By combining Quad 1 and 2 wins and mis-stating Utah St non-conf SOS, it does look like UD is equal to Utah St (a deserving tourney team). What CoffeeCan was asking was there really any difference between the two. In my mind he was implying the two aren't very different. However, when you consider Utah St's actual non-conf SOS and consider only Quad 1 wins, along with multiple other rating systems, Utah St and UD are not that close. Maybe I was mis-interpreting him. I would say on the court the difference between the teams is actually pretty close, but UD didn't win those close games that would have given the Flyers an resume on par with Utah St.

The only reason I even responded was initially to correct the erroneous SOS number, but my frustration with some on this board that believe the Flyers should be part of the last 4 in/last 4 out discussion caused me to further expand on the Utah St resume. When you consider UD has only 1 Quad 1 win currently, and come Sunday may not even have that (Davidson needs to lose either tomorrow or Sat for UD to be in the final and they are near the cut line for the Flyer win at Davidson to count as Quad 1...they may fall below that cut line), I just don't know how you can consider them over any team with multiple Quad 1 wins.

As an aside, the New Mexico/Utah St game was fun to watch. Amazingly the Aggies won even though they had nearly 30 turnovers. It was like watching the Flyers trying to break a full-court press...nervewracking.
I had no idea my dad was on this message board. I will be sure to do the dishes. Can I borrow the car this weekend, as long as I promise not to mix up any SOS numbers? Thanks, Dad. You are the best.
