Laley, what you need to realize, that the committee does NOT put much weight into the conference tourneys. They are a small part of the seeding process. The main body of work, is the regular season.

I know, and Novas body of work would have certainly warranted consideration. Their resume would have been:

28-5 (14-4).
Wins over Dayton, Miss, Maryland, Marquette(2), Lville, Gtown, WVU(2), and ND
No bad loses
RPI around 5
SOS around 15-20

I dont see how if they had won out, you can honestly sit there and tell me that Villanova wouldnt have had a chance at the #1 with Ohio State and Duke.

I realize it is moot, because they lost to WVU and now dont really have a shot...but this discussion was based on before that game.
