NCAA Senior Vice President of Basketball, Dan Gavitt, provided an update on the selection process for the NCAA tournament, stating that 35 out of 36 at-large teams have been chosen. The selection committee is focused on evaluating and seeding the best teams using metrics-driven methods.
Some selection committee members posted last night & this morning about how hard it's going to be to leave out bubble teams because of bid thieves. I totally get the agony. But I wonder: Does that help them make their case for NCAA Tournament expansion? https://t.co/kALgsQZopR
"The committee's task with the at larges, all 36 of them, is to select the best 36 teams. They use all sorts of ways to evaluate teams to determine who are the 36 best. The process has become more metrics-driven over the years." —Dan Gavitt https://t.co/HVpDW82gSD
