Kenpom: IU and Purdue are the lowest rated at-large bids

It's a travesty that IU makes it when other better teams are left out.

Here are Kenpom's rankings for IU and higher ranked teams that missed the tourney. And yes, I know he's not the end all, be all, but they're usually as good as any others.

So is Stanford 48 or 51? Maybe they have a platoon system too!

Wow, didn't realize Vandy was that high in KenPom.

Whoops...fixed. Richmond was 51.

Two teams that shouldn't get in, both from the Big Ten, both from Indiana, selected by a bunch of goons in Indiana? No way.
