Dayton is dancing, you can relax
If they are not dancing, screw the NCAA, I am finding a new hobby to spend my hard earned money on.

I certainly can see it and will never understand those that are certain we're in. 2 years ago, we had a better OOC record, 2 more losses within conference(which was more highly respected than this year), and played in the A10 championship. The losses were more reasonable because you could tell it was mainly fatigue with only 7 bodies to use most of the season. They never lost 2 in a row. We were the last team in.
This season doesn't feel nearly as accomplished as that one did.

Please delete or provide FACTS to support this assertion. Dayton is 100% lock looking at #27 RPI, 9-6 road/neutral, 4-2 top 50 and 12-5 top 100. Top 30 in dance card. I could go on and on and on.

I mentioned this on another thread, but Greg Shaheen has an article on ESPN.com and explains the selection process. By this morning the committee had selected all but the final 4 teams. They then put several in the ar large selection pool and the add teams as conference tourneys are completed. Unless you you believe UD was 64-68 BEFORE today's game then they are clearly in. There certainly is a lot of misinformation being thrown around.

I remember sitting in the Barclay's Center after losing a similar quarterfinal game on the infamous Langston Galloway push-off. The guys sitting behind me were convinced there would be no way UD would make the tournament. How did that work out?

Much better than the following season's selection Sunday when we were all shocked to find out we were last team in and playing in the first four. That's a very thin line to NIT.

We are a lock. Book it. You don't go from a 7th, 8th seed to out with one loss.
The only concern is seeding now. And, getting the team's confidence back after the last two games

This what I keep saying, I don't care what our seed is, I care that we are not playing well right now.

The year you referred to is 2015.
Smitty, I am not picking on you because there are several on here who are in your camp. I just wanted to help you and those others understand the facts that support people like myself that are certain we are in.
2015 - Dance Card had us out by 2 spots 49 (we were one of his misses) - We were 2 spots above at 47
SOS
RPI 32
Top 50 1-3
Top 100 6-6
2016 - Dance Card had us as #27 (We were a 7 seed).
SOS 57
RPI 22
Top 50 3-5
Top 100 9-5
Kenpom: 59
2017 - Dance Card has us as #21 (before today) - we will likely fall to 27-30 - We will be a 7 or 8 seed. More Top 50 and Top 100 wins than last year. Winning Road/Neutral Record. Wins over likely NCAA teams (4-6): Winthrop, East Tenn State, Vanderbilt, Rhode Island, VCU..... hot off the press... welcome Alabama as a potential addition.
SOS 66
RPI 27 (live-rpi after Davidson loss)
Top 50 4-2 (may go to 4-3 if Northwestern keeps winning)
Top 100 12-5 (including Davidson)
Kenpom: 38 (read they are looking at this more this year)
But don't take my word for it. Check out the nittygritty sheets the selection committee uses.

Everything you say makes perfect sense. I just don't trust the committee. I will certainly root for VCU to win the conference tournament because there are times where I believe the committee is locked into the number of teams from a mid-conference they are allowing into the tournament and this year that might be 2. I really believe if all things being equal last year and SJ would've gotten knocked off early, SBU would've gone regardless of losing in the first round.
I hope they're a lock, but believe me, it's easier to not have such confidence and be surprised than the opposite, so I don't feel sorry for my pessimistic attitude.

This has been said countless times but conference affiliation has no bearing on the number of teams from each league that can be selected. If a bid is "stolen" by a non-at large team winning their conference tournament, the very last team in on the bubble is bumped out. They don't just pick and choose teams and disregard their resume because of what conference they are in.

Yes, and cops don't profile, weapons of mass destruction exist, elite politicians face the same degree of justice as anyone else, a 2nd baseman not touching the bag trying to turn a double play is not an out, P5 conferences don't get advantages during the selection process etc...
I know what the guidelines are supposed to be, but until I am in there during the their selection process, I don't know how closely they follow those guidelines and neither do you.

How could they have all but 4 teams selected already?? If anyone not named Rhody or VCU wins the A-10 tournament that would obviously change things. Hogwash.

Tell that to the selection committee, they don't give a rats a$$ what flyer fans think. They will get their favorite P5 teams in regardless.

As of last night they had 32 at-large teams (So basically all the 1-8 seeds, though they will/can adjust the S-curve later) selected according to David Worlock who is the NCAA communications director. This morning at 10:30 AM he tweeted they were selecting more at-large teams but that this group would not be First Four teams. So at 10:30am they had at least selected 36 teams before UD had even played.

2013 lost to Butler. Oh, and that was the last time we didn't make the dance, not saying it's similar, just throwing that in.

On the plus side: losing our 7 seed, maybe going down to a (gulp) 10 seed will almost assuredly keep us clear of a rematch with the Commodores of Vandy. That team is arguably the hottest in the country right now, losing over the past couple of weeks only to a very strong Kentucky team...at Rupp...on senior night...after leading by double digits through 3/4 of the game.
Ask the Gators if they want a fourth crack at the 'Dores...

Who knows?
Based on the last few years have gone.....just when you figure out the NCAA.
We'll probably be a six!!!

URI and Vandy both top 40 now. Vanderbilt could get in the top 30 with a win tomorrow.
Sadly, GW looks likely to fall out of the top 100 with the loss to Richmond, giving us 3 sub-100 losses. GW at 101, Nebraska at 105.
I think we're already in personally, but if it's close that could be bad.

Looking at the dance card and how the teams are doing today I can see us moving from 22 to 28/29. Last 7 seed or first 8 seed. The teams on the 9 line would be in this group:
Michigan St.
South Carolina
Middle Tennessee
Michigan
Seton Hall
Vanderbilt (would be avoided due to bracketing procedures)
Marquette
It's still too fluid as many of these teams were in action today.

Count me as one of the nervous ones. It's the "what have you done for me lately thing." Losing our last two games doesn't look too good.

But we have also won 9 of our last 11. There's a big difference between dropping two in a row and limping into the tournament. I know it's not a metric the Committee uses, but look at all the teams competing for spots on the bubble right now, many of them are 7-4, 6-5, 5-6 or worse down the stretch.
Again, you can't look at the games this weekend in a vacuum. Entire body of work.

The last time this year Dayton lost two in a row - they rattled off 5 double digit wins including two over 2017 NCAA tournament teams, not saying it's similar, just throwing that in.

After filling my own Bracketology as i start doing once Dayton is eliminated, i can tell you we are safely in. SAFELY IN. Once you see it on paper, we are in. Im guessing a 9 or a 10. What im struggling with is how the committee is going to treat the likes of Kansas State,Michigan State,Vanderbilt,Providence, _avier.....etc.
Dayton likely was voted in to the At-large field before yesterday's game even tipped off. They however have not SEEDED the field yet. The loss will most definetly impact our seeding but we are in.

Palm has Dayton an 8 seed and Lunardi has Dayton a 9. Hoping for a 7 or 10.

The committee many years have said conference tournament rarely affects the at-large teams unless a bid stealer knocks a bubble team off the board. How many times have the said the outcome of the Big 10 Championship and SEC Championship had no affect on the bracket. They know crazy upsets happen in these, and that is why they look at total body of work. It may affect teams to go up 1 seed or down one seed, but that is typically all you see happen.

The "eye test" will hurt us in a year we are on the bubble or close, and it can hurt our seed, but it will not take us out in a year we are clearly in. The committee looks at the total body of work. For Dayton that is: we played pretty good through injuries, then won the A10, then let up for a meaningless loss at GW, and then lost to a decent Davidson team in a close game. All that says we are clearly in, but we drop a couple of seed slots.

Lunardi said (15 minutes ago) that if VCU doesn't win the A-10 tournament
"...there will be trouble for the A-10 dance card."
Is this cause for concern?

Exactly. I don't understand why a few on this thread don't get this. The conference tourneys have very little impact because they are just one or two games in an entire season.

Regarding teams considered locks....remember the committee has the key and can unlock any team they wish to put another team in. That's how UCLA got in, committee wanted them in.
Every year someone gets left out that the pundits factored in and someone gets in that has the pundits scratching their heads.

I said this in another thread, but I'm in the camp that we are a lock because we won the A10 regular season outright and the committee values that especially in the 8th best conference in the country. With the same resume and a co-championship or second place finish I think we could be in trouble.

He did put together the complex puzzle of Cunnungham's return date. And to suggest XW start when most others felt he should never get off the bench? RamodWaleskowski clearly has some kind of crystal ball or Nostradamus like qualities.
If he gets this right, and the Flyers miss the Dance tonight, then we should probably put him on all of the cold case files across the Midwest.
In the remote chance that he misses this and the Flyers do dance tonight, just chalk it up to RamodWaleskowski "gaining steam" as southwest Ohio's next weather man.

The bubble is pretty much gone. The only teams left on bracketmatrix that are even remotely being considered are Syracuse and Illinois st. ESPN doesn't even have the 'first four out' anymore. It just 2 teams. USC Illinois st.
This might be the most predictable year I can ever remember. There's just so little choices.

He must have meant URI, otherwise the statement makes no sense. This game today can't hurt VCU. Their RPI won't move with a loss and dance card probably not much either. SOS will improve.

Okay, I see that Arizona moved into a very possible #1 seed. If Dayton is an 8/9 seed that would mean 25 percent chance of winding up in same region. I'm guessing it's more like a 100 percent for the Miller brothers angle.

The only proof needed is that the NCAA has a "screw the non 5 league button" I don't trust them as far as I can throw them and they have proven it. They have used this button at will!!!!
As for deleting this thread there are 63 posts that say otherwise. I opened this for discussion on on a discussion board. Maybe battling cancer and heart failure have affected my mind but opinions are like aholes, everybody has one

For the 100th time. I think UD should be in, deserves to be in. I want them to be in!!!
I just do not trust the committee. Hence my skepticism that we are "locked".

This argument does not work against Dance Card though. Their algorithm accounts for conference bias as well as if a school is represented on the committee.

Agree 100%. With some of the stuff you've been posting the last 48 hours, I'd expect it (taking an "L") to be more and more frequent.
