00:00The last four teams into the big dance that had that bubble elevated who surprised you the most that they made it to the NCAA tourney
00:07Oh, it's carolina
00:08It's carolina with their with their lack of quad one wins and in effect
00:13And here's the reason why I I understand that carolina's net is great or better than some
00:19I understand that carolina played better down the stretch
00:23But to me to be the way they played the second half in their regular season finale, right against duke. Yeah
00:30Which okay, they get another chance then you have cooper flag out and you're down 24 points in the first half
00:38That took me a little like a team that did not deserve a chance to be in now
00:43But then you're gonna say well
00:45We we went with the net we went to net you got to make up your minds on what you're doing
00:50Right. Is it the net? Yeah, is it the quad? Is it how you're playing? Whatever?
00:53I you know, ben's gonna talk about indiana. Boise state. I like boise state
00:57I thought this team when you look at these teams that go outside of those
01:01Non-power and they go play power teams. They went and played and beat clemson
01:06Second best team or third best team in the acc. They wouldn't beat st
01:10Maris was a regular season winner out of wcc. They
01:14You can't control who to go play. Yeah, so how are we gonna sit there and say carolina deserves to get in because of the net?
01:21But the way they've played and they have so many opportunities
01:24Opportunities more than a team like boise
01:27I still think boise state should have got that bid and it was a tough one for the broncos
01:31Jy entering the mountain west conference tournament trying to hold off the team
01:34That is as hot as you will see in college basketball right now in colorado state who ended up winning the conference tournament
01:40And of course earning that automatic berth to the big dance north carolina
01:45Perhaps the most surprising if you are questioning why the tar heels were the last team into the ncaa tournament
01:51The selection committee has always highlighted. What have you done?
01:55For me in non-conference action and to unc's credit under hubert davis. They had the fifth most difficult
02:02nationally strength of schedule in non-conference play indiana left out as was ohio state boise state
02:11And west virginia in jy there will be many in morgantown
02:15Who had a great first year under darian devries as the head coach there of the mountaineers that are questioning
02:21Why they were left out of the big dance not a great time during conference tournament week in big 12 action
02:27But neutral court victories for wvu over arizona
02:31And gonzaga a road win in the fog against a kansas team that did struggle
02:36But still a tournament team and a win over iowa state with zero losses in quad three or quad four play
02:44West virginia the first team on the outside of the bubble looking in also slightly snubbed
02:49Yeah, obviously so and I guess what the problem is is they lost to colorado in the first round of the big ball tournament
02:55but if you
02:57They're torn but when you think of colorado, right tag boils team is is much better than the last place team
03:03They took uh, the next round they took as houston within 10 points
03:07So to me that takes a look at it. I think that's where it is is
03:11How do you evaluate and how do you look at these teams?
03:14And what they do I I think that that's another team that deserves
03:18So, I mean, I don't know if xavier deserved to be in in the tournament
03:22I don't think that was a terribly a strong biggie season. We look at how they're seated behind st
03:27John, so it's very interesting to see and there's a lot of questions that one day we'll get answers to but
03:34At least the two of us there are some questionable teams that got in this tournament
