Listen to the committee chair, it sounds like teams were not really evaluated on the kind of criteria used today. "we didn't feel like a team with 14 losses should be in".
What sucked is that UAB and Arizona both lost, depending on what time their games start they probably had to go to class after the game unless classes were cancelled for that day.
Louisville wasn’t on probation but the committee felt at 18-14 there resume wasn’t strong enough to make the tourney.Memphis St. was on probation due to violations in the Dana Kirk era.
