It is clear the selection committee does not hold the Summit League in too high of the regard. They selected a 16-13 (Conf 11-9) Illinois team (7th Big Ten Team) and a 10 loss Northern Iowa team over the Yotes. It is clear we just needed to take care of business in the Summit League Tournament. It is time to prove the selection committee made a mistake in the NIVC. Illinois has much better wins and plays in the best conference in the country. Northern Iowa played a much tougher schedule, went 17-1 in conference play, and lost in the conference championship game. Had they won the MVC and not taken up an at-large bid, the Yotes might've snuck in. Personally, I think both Illinois and Northern Iowa were both more deserving based on their schedules.

What the committee is stating that you can play in a tough conference and lose nearly half your games and that is better than winning 27 of 29 and beating a team in that same conference and it means nothing. If the schedule was much more difficult and we happen to lose a few games they exclude us because of our record. I don't have to like it, it is the way it is. Time for the NIVC Tournament, Go YOTES!!!

I'm happy for the opportunity to win a tournament on our home court, but would rather have a conference tournament championship instead of a potential consolation prize.
I also hate to say it, but the selection committee won't pay a second of attention to the NIVC. We just need to put together an even stronger OOC schedule. Beating a few more fellow at large/automatic bids at the cost of a couple more losses is well worth it.
