Could someone with a Twitter account respond to these idiots with SOS info that the committee uses and show how bad teams like St Marys, Monmouth, butler and others in the tourney SOS's are?

Maybe they need to know Monmouths SOS is 166 and St Marys 148. Ha

And the slams at Frank Haith are absolutely uncalled for. Sour grapes by pissed off fans.

@ESPNStatsInfo why Tf is Tulsa in over Monmouth? Not even people go to Tulsa want to see them over Monmouth.

@jackson_wea @ESPNStatsInfo Tulsa lost to South Carolina and had more losses but still got the bid. Unbelievable.

@ESPNStatsInfo I guess @FrankHaithTulsa's road to the tourney is paved with NCAA violations. Nice reward . . . #firstworldproblems

@ESPNStatsInfo With 68 teams in the field how could 54-66 have the worst strength of record?

@dganders @ESPNStatsInfo I think it's at large teams only. Maybe?

@ESPNStatsInfo Maybe I'm confused by SOR, but with 68-team field, how can 66, 61, 56, 55, and 54 be the worst? What am I missing? Ties?

@ESPNStatsInfo yes but Frank Haith always runs clean and honest programs and Tulsa was awarded for that!

@soy_jeff @ESPNStatsInfo the initial tweet was worded poorly. It should have said amongst non-auto bid teams.

@chrisstlmo @ESPNStatsInfo No worries and thanks for clearing it up. You all do an incredible job!

Tulsa being in is a shock. There are several teams that look to be more deserving and people will be sounding off on it. Comes with being the last at large team selected.

Honestly, I wouldn't have known until tomorrow if the local news in Chicago hadn't run a story about Monmonth

Then you are not a journalist.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Plenty of bulletin board material. All the motivation they need. Play loose, have fun, and get it done !!

Nope, just a LONG time Tulsa fan who thought they were NIT bound after the Memphis blow out..

I think my favorite are the we only beat WSU without Van Vleet comments.

The one guy on ESPN saying something about Frank Haith and probation issues should be fined/suspended. It's crazy.

Some of you seem surprised by ESPN. This is who they are.

Need to transfer his beat to Louisville.....a lot more to work with there.

There is so much coming out about the Louisville thing I'd be surprised if Pitino is their coach in a month.

The only school that may have a beef that we got in and they didn't is South Carolina...head to head argument is hard to go against if everything else is relatively equal.

Whatever. We're in. Win a game and they will all shut up. Makes up for Temple getting shafted last year and SMU getting shafted the year before

There's also another thing going around on Twitter...Castgilione (basketball selection committee chair) hired Gragg as an assistant AD or staffer or something like that at Mizzou 18 years ago.

Would bet money that he had little to say since it was a state school. The Ohio AD is the only one from a team we played.

The last two minutes of the first half of WSU game must have featured a mystery Shocker player then.

All I care about is for Tulsa to show up against Michigan! Don't stand around on defense and watch your man out-hustle you for rebounds and play your asses off !!! They can beat Michigan.
