I'm going to say B for sure, there's something about that resume that makes me think they're going to do some damage ;) . C and F would be my two others.
 




B,C AND D

IN:
B, DECENT ROAD/NEUTRAL, TOUGH SOS, HARD TO SAY BETTER THAN E
C, APPEARS TO BE THE BEST TEAM
D, SLIGHTLY BETTER TOP 50 % THAN E OR G

OUT:
A, POOR TOP 50 PERFORMANCE AND EXPERIENCE, BAD LOSS
E, MY RUNNER UP, WORST NON CONFERENCE SOS (PENN ST?)
F, SEE A
G, POOR FINISH AND POOR ROAD/NEUTRAL
 

Team F looks horrible with those two bad losses, but I suppose I will need to backtrack when I see the teams name, unless that is Kentucky.
 


Just tell me which one is the Gophers so I can pick it and which one is Wisconsin so I can not pick it.
 



Final results

Thanks for participating. We'll do this again in a couple days. I chose B, C and E. I think it's a good thing that every team was selected at least once. Shows that we all can see things a little bit differently, as the committee will.

The results. ..

C = 7 votes
B = 5 votes
F = 3 votes
A = 2 votes
G = 2 votes
D = 1 vote
E = 1 vote

Our Selection Committee chose Cincinnati (C), Wisconsin (B) and Temple (F) for the final 3 spots.

The 4 disappointed teams headed for the NIT are A (San Diego State), G (Michigan), D (Providence) and E (Miami-Florida).
