I get your point. It looks like the split was between Kentucky (30 rpi, 14 - 17 in conference) & Northeastern (35 rpi, 17 - 6 in conference). Northeastern isn't a slouch. With 10 (?) SEC teams in I can see why they chose Northeastern over Kentucky. I also understand why Kentucky feels slighted.

There will never be a perfect selection scenario. I just want Tech to win the freaking conference tournament, or short of that, be so damn strong we're going to Regionals regardless so that Louisiana Tech & "bubble" never gets mentioned in the same sentence.
