oru gets #13 down "south," iupui gets shafted by the nit.

ORU (24-8) got a #13 seed and a date with the #4 Pittsburgh (26-9) in the South Bracket. That game will be played Thursday at Denver's Pepsi Center. Only in the Big Dance™ can a game played in Denver, Colo. be considered "south" by any standards.

As of 9:38 p.m. EDT, IUPUI and its 26-7 record, ranked 14th in the Mid Major Top 25, 72 RPI and a quarter will only get Ron Hunter a phone call. The Jaguars were snubbed by the NIT.

San Diego State, at 19-12 and an RPI of 77, earned an at-large bid. Rhode Island, at 21-11 and an RPI of 79, also received an at-large bid in the NIT.

And where is IUPUI? Sitting at home, done for the year (unless the CBI invites the Jags to play).

No justice, indeed.

Former Valpo head coach Scott Drew guided his Baylor Bears back to the NCAA Tournament as a #11 seed in the West Bracket. Once again defying laws of geography, they will head to that western city, Washington, DC, to face #6 Purdue on Thursday. Seriously, the NCAA needs to either buy a new atlas or re-name its brackets.
