Playing better against tough competition down the stretch?

From Feb 18 onwards -
at Arizona State (17-15) - Loss 68-66
at Arizona (31-3) - Loss 57-47
vs Washington (16-15) - Win 88-66
vs Washington State (13-18) - Win 72-67
vs Southern Cal (12-20) - Win 85-74
Southern Cal in tournament (12-20) - Win 96-70
Arizona in tournament (31-3) - Loss 70-64

Washington, Washington State and Southern Cal finished in the bottom three of the Pac 12, while Arizona State finished mid table.

So basically UCLA got in because they only lost to Arizona by 6 points in the Pac-12 tournament.

its just disgusting. [deleted] the committee

He could have just been honest and admitted it was to increase ratings. It had nothing to do with merit, just more money for the NCAA.

Hopefully Larry calls out the NCAA at some point. Ridiculous.

This aggression will not stand, man

I put a lot of this on Areasco- our supposed commisioner. He needs to man up, get some balls and do some major complaining. We won't get any respect until he starts demanding it. He must insist that we get some representation on the committee. The AAC teams got hosed again this year. I think the AD and Univ. Presidents need to tell him to get something done or move on. JMHO.

Agree. Haven't heard from him for awhile actually....

He is quoted in a newspaper story discussing a potential conference challenge (much like ACC/Big10) amongst other items.

Way to go Larry.

The best way to call out the NCAA is for us to wipe the floor with UCLA. Just pummel them. At least we've played at Louisville arena, so it won't be foreign to us. Then if we beat Iowa State (which is weak inside and shoots lots of 3's -sound familiar), we can then at least set up a match up for the elite 8 between us and Gonzaga, and shut the mouths of the P5 apologists.

I love that they have Larry shaking his fist. "Get off my lawn, NCAA!"

I thought I was watching the NCAA football selection show. The AAC produced the National Champion and NIT runner up last season and they are still blinded by their own bias . What a bunch of morons.
