Good comment.

I believe you.

If our best 3 teams beat the teams they are supposed to beat (Oxymoron) and defend their home turf, Selection Sunday is less of a guess. However, a Valley team with a so-so non conference record, unexpected home losses, and one possession wins against lower tier teams, should plan for the NIT.

BINGO!

The Aces and the Bears have something in common in regards to painful losses in the last minute or seconds:

USA Today said:

Late-game lapses cost Bears two games

There wasn't any great mystery as to what happened to the Bears last week. They just simply failed to execute in the endgame of two losses in less than 48 hours, turning what would have been a 3-0 week into a 1-2 stretch.
