Just know that not all us Redbird fans thought poorly of Moser, I was mad when he was let go. Great season, Ramblers! See you in St. Louis, I hope to see a lot of Harry Potter scarves!

You know what day is not fun? The one where you finish 27-6 with a top 35 RPI with a top 25 win on your resume and get left out of the NCAA tournament. If Loyola loses in the MVC tournament final they'll be 27-6 with a top 25 win and a lower RPI but less bad losses so its a wash. They'll be having a bad day too. Better win in St. Louis or you'll be playing for a spot in New York.

True but this is less about you cause you were at least respectful about it (hell, we even exceeded my expectations) and more about Wichita troll

Yeah....but did we have a top 25 win.....? Pretty sure that was what helped to keep us out.

Our bad losses kept us out. That and the agenda of the committee for P5 schools.

Yup, bad losses and no good wins...both reasons we were kept out. Maybe I am delusional, but I honestly believe if ISU had a top 25 win, or didn't lose to Murray State, they would have made it. I think either of those things could have moved the needle, but we didn't and it was just another year of not making the dance.

Yeah, Make MVC Great Again disappeared when the season started. Clearly a Wichita troll.

The thing that really sucks about Loyola's at-large chances that none of the "pundits" are talking about--three of their five losses, including their two really bad losses (ISUb and @Milwaukee) were without Custer. The committee supposedly takes injuries into account for P5 teams so why not for Loyola. If Loyola had Custer those three games, they are very likely 27-2 right now and very much an at-large quality team. Oh well--if they play like they did yesterday, they should win Arch Madness. Such is life as a mid-major in 2018.

Email the selection committee commissioner about this. They will typically respond if you don't attack them.

He was also caught “copy/pasting” posts from someone (aka his real account) on ShockerNet. :o
