The NCAA Committee trolls so hard. I swear every year they pick all the teams they want in and then come up with new guidelines they are following to justify it. The agenda this year was obviously to make the NIT tournament great again.

People complain every year and there are always good arguments for a couple snubbed teams, but never in my life have I ever seen anything close to what happened to USC this year. USC finished second in the Pac-12 for the regular season and then went on to make to the championship game of their tournament.

I'm pissed I missed the ESPN show this year but I saw the CBS one and they revealed the at large bids one at a time in alphabetical order. Can you imagine being a player for USC watching that and you see them announce right off the bat that Arizona State made it. Any inkling of a thought that you wouldn't get picked would instantly go away as soon as you saw that the team that finished with the 9th best record in your conference and got blown out in the first round of your tournament got selected.
