Actually based on the conference's track record the last five years - I would say they deserve two bids, but UNT faltered down the stretch this year
Houston was a bad matchup for UAB for the get go - they draw any other 5 seed and I like their upset chances a whole lot better
UNT got bounced from the NIT by a very respectable UVA team that's two years removed from an NC
Pay for play results don't mean a hill of beans....
