OT: Cinderella's Big Dance

[Maroon Eagle]

8-seed Drake beat 1-seed Northern Iowa in the Valley quarterfinals.

Do the Panthers get an at-large bid making the bubble that much smaller?

We still have clingers of hope we make The Dance?

The subject line does begin with OT:

NET rating in the 30’s. I would bet they are in the field as an at large.

My bad.

Looking at their quadrant records and their NET, it seems like an obvious yes.

But Lunardi had them as an 11-seed (i.e., on equal footing with the last teams in) before they suffered this bad loss, so maybe not.

The consensus I'm seeing from some guys I follow on stuff like this is that UNI is in big trouble. Seems like in recent memory the committee has been very hesitant to expand 1 bid leagues to 2 when upsets occur in these tournaments. Lipscomb was in a similar position last year and got snubbed.
