u00a0The NCAA should be ashamed of themselves for allowing UT-Tyler to be in the West Region Tournament. Regardless of your season record, if a team did not make it to the ASC Conference Finals they did not get a bid to play in the Regional Tournament. Tyler got knocked out in the 1st round by a 4th place teamu00a0from theu00a0ASC West in 2 games. Now all of a sudden the NCAA does an about face and let’s Tyler advance!!! Why even have a post seasen tournament??? This hase not been done in at least 5 years so why now??? UT Dallas who took 2nd in the Conference Finals should have received the bid not Tyler.
So two games at the end of the season changes all theiru00a0accomplishmentsu00a0this season? Happens all the time in college sports.u00a0
55 teams?u00a0 Why not 64?u00a0 Then you would not even have the discussion above.nnn
so Rhodes hosts a regional…and yetu00a0doesn’t get in?u00a0
