Maybe they should have played a tougher schedule

SoS is a huge component of tournament selection and not playing at least an ACC team likely killed them and then playing a team making the move from D3 and a bunch of also rans doesn't help. Rutgers only played 2 tournament teams - Hopkins and UMd - going 2-2. Hopkins played 6 going 3-3.

Don't get me wrong, Brown is going to torch Hopkins defense because it is awful but Hopkins is one of the 18 best teams in the country even with all of their issues.

Edited to add: If Rutgers should be mad at any team making the tournament it is Navy.

You could argue about AFA's resume, but they are 15-2

And won 15 straight after losing to tournament teams Navy and Denver. However, those 15 wins included only one tourney team, Duke, who they beat in OT. And they won their conference.

We were supposed to play Air Force in January in a pre-season game. I can't remember, did that not get played?
Air Force is an AQ; resume is irrelevant *
