Does Nova deserve to make the tournament?

Lost to a bad USF team last night and they are 5-10 over their last 15 games.

I could see it going either way. They will probably get brownie points for being in the toughest conference in all the land in the history of mankind. I see them as a 8 or 9 seed, then getting bounced in the first round by the 8 or 9, or getting bounced in the second round by the 1.

They will get in because of the Big Eat, but no, they don't deserve it.

Based on the last few weeks no, but how many bubble teams say they have better wins than Temple, UCLA, Cincy, Louisville, Syracuse, and West Virginia.

They are 3-7 against the RPI top 25, 3-1 against 26-50, and 10-8 against the RPI top 100.

Either way, they are in and I'd love to be the team that has to face them in the first round.

Probably based on their whole resume but they'll be a double-digit seed.

Who deserves to get in over nova who's not going to make it? I get the hate towards nova, but they are and deserve to be a stone cold lock tournament team. They have a top 40 RPI, they played the 26th toughest schedule in the country, and the have wins over 10 likely tournament teams. No on sitting on the bubble has a resume half as good as that. Granted, they should be a poorly seeded team and I'd be fine with them being in the play-in round, but there's no rational argument that can be made that they don't deserve to be in the field.
