App St survives in the SB quarters in OT vs 9-23 GA Southern. App St fouls a 3 point shooter up 2, loses the lead, then throws it away but manages to tie it late and get to OT where they choose not to foul up 3 and Ga Southern rims out a tying 3 pointer.

High Point, the top seed in the loses by 1 on OT in Big South semis. Longwood also chose not to foul up 3 late as High Point misses the tying 3.

Yeah, double pump elbow jumper at the buzzer. App St had several shots to take the lead in the last minute but couldn't get a good look or make a tough shot. I would put them in the field but we know the P6 bias. Lots of P6 bubble teams like Iowa, Utah, Miss St, Villanova, St Johns that have marginal resumes but may get in. Reality is that if your league has lots of top 100 teams you just need to win about half those games to get to the tourney. If your league isn't like that you gotta win most of your limited top 100 games to maybe get in. App St beat Auburn who is a top 4 seed.

The Vegas Tournament (not really in Vegas) gave us #26 Ind St, #29 NM, #74 Irvine. We also had #69 App St #84 G Mason #103 Vermont #108 N Iowa #132 Oakland plus W Va, Wright St and La were around #150, Only Marshall and Detroit were weak opponents by ranking. If UT had gone like 10-3 or 11-2 against this schedule our computer ranking would be great. Bold teams won their conference.

By the way if UT gets in we are predicted to be a 14 seed. Baylor is predicted to be a 3.
