"Yeah, the selection committee looks at the entire body of work over the course of a season. Some last-week-of-the-regular-season loss to a way-below .500 Texas Tech team? Meaningless, given the whole body of work. I mean, TT had nothing to lose. Its hardly fair to penalize a team for losing in that circumstance. UMass? Yeah, its a poor loss. But if the committee would look at the season as a whole, then they'd find that KU is a better team."
Get real.
