Snubs
Other than Illinois State - this article put a huge smile on my face. New definition of snub. If you don't win 20 games or more than 2 road games - please don't be included in a snub article.
Shouldn't we all feel sorry for Syracuse, Illinois, Iowa, California, and Georgia?

The scariest part is... as good as Wichita State is they probably weren't in if they lost to Illinois State in the finals of their conference tourney.
Show me a non-P5 (or New BE) team in the last 17 at-large picks. I am liking the A10 more and more.

Illinois felt so snubbed they fired their coach.

Had Syracuse played at Illinois State back in December, they may both be playing in Dayton this week.

There was one year where Syracuse never left New York State until the middle of January. They played Bonaventure in Rochester because they don't do Olean. They played Colgate in Hamilton, NY because they owed them a game after a 3 for 1 buy in. And all their other buy in games were scheduled at the Carrier Dome.
I don't feel sorry for them one bit.
Besides, I played in a couple of golf tournaments in western NY that Boeheim also played in. Good stick, but he acts like a rock star primadonna with his demands. Screw him. Don't know who I despise more, him or Vitale.

I only wish this would have happened sooner so the world would know the Orangemen have no clothes. As it stands, next year will be his final year coaching and he surely won't change his spots in his final year. If he's better than 100 RPI they'll put him in the tournament and then punish his successor for never playing road games.

The truth of the matter is (in the case of Boeheim et al) if fame, fortune or power corrupts ones's character, they didn't have much to begin with.
Don't frown on Boeheim, pity him!

Syracuse should not have gotten in last year (and their Final 4 run does not justify their inclusion) and they were justly excluded this year.

It is good that Boeheim has a sense of humor.
