NCAA selection committee on why Niagara is playing in the play in despite not being one of two worst teams
"Walters defended Niagara's inclusion in the opening-round game, too. The game, which was created once there became 31 automatic berths with the split of the WAC into the WAC and Mountain West (the committee didn't want to reduce the number of at-large berths from 34), is supposed to be for the two lowest rated teams in the RPI. If that's the case then Niagara wouldn't be in the game since there were four teams that had lower RPI numbers than Niagara -- Central Connecticut State, Weber State, North Texas and Jackson State. Walters said the committee is sensitive to putting in two historically black colleges in the game. Jackson State and Florida A&M, Niagara's opponent in the game Tuesday night in Dayton, come from the two historically black colleges in the SWAC and MEAC.
Jackson State is a 16 seed against Florida, CCSU is a 16 against Ohio State, North Texas is a 15 against Memphis and Weber State is a 15 against UCLA.
Walters said, "First of all, I think we are, as you know, sensitive to the historically black colleges. I think one of the things that we looked at in seeding the last four lines, as we did with seeding the top four lines, was whether or not teams had not only won their regular-season conference but also whether or not they won the conference tournament."
Good now I don't ever have to worry about filling out a tourney bracket ever again. Jesus Christ were does this PC nonsense end, ALL THE FUCKING PLAYERS ARE BLACK ANYWAYS YOU MORON!
