Committee Folly Commence

Well, I didn't get to see Vanderbilt justify their spot in the field last night with a win over mid-major Wichita State. Figure they went out and won handily against an inferior foe. Who did Wichita State even play this year? Look at that resume. 

Wait, a minute...the Shockers won by 20?!? That seems pretty lopsided for two "even" squads. Oh, well. Everyone knows Vandy tested themselves for this in the SEC.

Now, I have to admit I can be a slave to the numbers a lot of the times but Vandy is a clear example of a case where the eye test matters. They played uninspired basketball all year despite being in the top-30 of KenPom for the majority of the year. All that showed was they played below their capabilities. Sometimes, we need to trust our eyes and our eyes showed us all year, Vandy wasn't a tournament team. How the committee could not see this speaks volumes of their work.
