Is PSU in the dance?

See the bacatology thread, Bracket Dave has us both as 10 seeds this morning
Perhaps, and a win against Northwestern would seal it.
That said, let's keep in mind you can't spell Nittany without NIT.

I think they're a lock at this point. And I hope they win a game or two so their coach gets lots of attention and gets poached.
The talking heads at BTN talked as if they punched their ticket yet they had reservations about Rutgers.
I wonder what we look like compared to them in a side by side résumé comparison? NET, Kenpom, Q1, Q2 record, etc.
both teams are in and most likely not in Dayton
one will be a ten the other a bye 11

That was a nice win for them yesterday. Some teams just match up better against certain other teams. While we beat them 2x, I think they are a more dangerous NCAA Tournament team.
If the B-10 gets 9 teams and either PSU or RU lose today, I would be very surprised if the conference does not have one team in Dayton.

I don’t understand how they are a lock but we aren’t.
I think their body of work is slightly better but beating them twice (once at their place) should be considered.

PSU strength of record = 35
RU strength of record = 56
Among the bubble teams, PSU is near the top and we're near the bottom. It's only one metric, but I think it helps answer your question.
We are always battling the “name” schools for headlines, favoritism and benefit of the doubt .
PSU even has a better ooc sos than RU at 275 to 309
both schools need to do a lot better with that

Yeah it looked good on paper with Butler, Furman and a few others expected to compete for the conference or be relevant. Furman might be the biggest thing of all in the end when it comes to seeding. They are going to upset someone in the first round.
