I select A - 2 wins against the top 25 earns my vote in this scenario

A for me. B hasn't proven much against a strong schedule.

I thought this was a fairly easy choice, as well. We all went with A.

A = Rhode Island -- big wins are over Cincinnati on a neutral court and home vs. VCU

B = Wake Forest -- only top-50 win is home vs. Miami-Florida.

In my opinion 16-12 should not even be in the discussion for any sort of bid. I don't care what conference you are in, who you have beaten, or whatever sob story you can come up with. 16-12 is mediocre no matter how you cut it.

Miles Tarver was my favorite player. Not sure why, but 11 year old me loved Miles.

Agreed 100%. I do believe that the ACC is the best conference, but not by the margin that most think. They're top heavy, and if you want to benefit from playing in a tough conference, you should actually beat some of those top heavy teams. 16-12 is NIT material if they get a couple more wins.
