4 teams, 2 at-large spots available. Which 2 would you select?

I'm excluding NET ranking so that you can't look it up. You'll have to trust me that at this point in time all 4 are considered bubble teams (at least marginally). If you know or think you know who any of these teams are, I ask that you don't blurt it out.

Team reveals & results at around 6 p.m. tonight.

All things considered I probably lean C and D. Team A is let down by their true road percentage and a weak non-con. Team B's losing record in Q1 games has me chose D over them. C is probably first in for me, I like KenPom generally better overall and their SOS edges out D
 












also would've gone C and D.

A's non con SOS the real let down for me and is inflating their record. B and D felt close but went D for the better win% vs quad 1/2 and road record and B's poor non con SOS
 

I was going to say A & D. Best Quad 1 winning percentages.

🤔 this is tough!
 

All of them with warts as would be expected
A with really nothing away from home and some ugly losses to quad 3/4
B with a poor SOS and an inflated record against the floor teams
Couple of ugly losses on team Cs resume

Personally would go B as they've avoided the hiccups and beaten teams in the field Then would say C due to actually doing something against quad 1/2 followed by A
 


Team B. Most wins among the 3 and best KPI, as well as no ugly losses
 


B. I’m not for punishing “bad losses.” Decent overall SOS. Enough wins against good teams. Pretty sure you could draw from a gold M cap and still not be wrong.
