6 men’s NCAA tournament snubs as committee gets it right with Miami (OH)
- Miami (Ohio) earned an at-large bid despite an undefeated regular season, as the MAC gained a second bid.
- Miami (Ohio) faced scrutiny for a lack of quad-one games and a weak non-conference schedule.
- Auburn and Oklahoma were among the last four teams left out, despite solid conference metrics.
- San Diego State missed a signature win, impacting its tournament chances.
- Indiana, Stanford, and other bubble teams saw late-season slips that harmed their bids.
- The piece argues the bubble chaos from two years ago is gone, with limited impact from perceived snubs.
- Miami (Ohio) could set a new blueprint for mid-majors seeking at-large status.
- Auburn’s high KenPom rating did not overcome a 17-16 overall record for an at-large bid.
- Oklahoma also missed the field despite a six-game win streak before a late SEC loss.
