Analysis: NCAA tournament selection committee rewards Nevada, punishes Oklahoma State Here are a few takeaways from Sunday night's bracket reveal.
It’s the sort of argument fans of teams in leagues such as the Mountain West and Atlantic 10 have long made: Efficiency matters.And while it was a bit unexpected to see Nevada pop up, few are going to shed tears for an 18-15 Big 12 team or a 19-14 Big Ten team or an ACC team with only one high-end victory in 10 tries . They had chances, they didn’t take advantage, and now they’re off to the NIT. The thing about the Wolf Pack was it did such a great job avoiding silly pitfalls most of the season.
Then it lost at Wyoming , fell at home to UNLV and dropped its Mountain West quarterfinal to San José State, the latter two games in overtime. Nevada did not wind up with a picture-perfect profile, but the committee gave clemency to one team from outside the power conferences while setting up its play-in game dance card.The Cowboys were the top team excluded from the field, and it wasn’t hard to envision them getting in.
