For the most part only winning a tournament seems to matter to the Panel.

They tend to emphasize the season and not an everyday tournament at the end of the season (not my words!). All teams seem to have greater expectations for the tournament then actually appears in the selections...

That’s a generalization that only seemed to apply to our case in 2022

If we win 3 we’re absolutely in because of who we beat
hokiepro • 03/10/26 10:50 AM ET
maybe, hopefully but
Vippie1 • 03/10/26 11:15 AM ET
A lot of others? Well there are about 10-15 who’ve had us in and not

don't get it if true, as most of the process should be automated.

Lets be honest. The motivation levels of teams is very different

So tourney games mean something this year? Had not in recent years **
GoldCoast • 03/10/26 07:40 AM ET
All 3 games I said….of course NCSU started their final 4 run
hokiepro • 03/10/26 08:00 AM ET
gotcha. was hoping the committee would consider these results. Odd, they
GoldCoast • 03/10/26 09:53 AM ET
When did the NCAA Committee say they do not take into consideration
