No they didn't. Thought for sure Maryland would be a Top 8 seed. Really surprised Rutgers did not get in when Michigan won the B1G Tourney.W said:

apparently the committee focused considerably on series wins.
A&M won series from 5 teams in the field:
LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vandy, and Georgia -- 4 on the road
Outside of auto bids, the tourneys are pointlessW said:

The deciding factor as a bubble team for the Wolfpack should have been last June's COVID Omaha snafu. Feel so bad for them.W said:

Throw the ace to try to get in the winner's bracket. They don't have the depth to fight out of the loser's bracket

I believe they're going to Auburn.
Hell no. If you want to win a regional as a four seed, you've got to win those first two games, and force the big boys to play an extra game to beat you. You can't concede game 1.12th Man Ag said:
Will Oral Roberts throw their ace in Game 1 or will they look at the A&M game as a probable loss and save him for the game against the 2/3 loser?
Would be a weird strategy, but they may not want to wasted their one "sure win" against the #1 seed.

Also talking about incongruity between RPI and other metrics this year. I'm still legit shocked they veered so far away from chalk RPI but kudos to them for looking deeper into the data.

Dollars to donuts they throw their ace. The winner's bracket is too valuable in the regional setup. While the law of averages usually plays out in a series, you don't concede a single game in baseball. Anything can happen.12th Man Ag said:

Can we get this Army AD on the football or basketball selection committees? A guy who actually answers questions and seemed to know particulars about the teams in question. So refreshing
