00:00I think it is very important that people understand these questions are not unfounded
00:07about their deservingness to be in the tournament. I want that to be very, very clear, okay? We'll
00:13start with the Ken Palm numbers, and people will say, oh, come on, you know Ken Palm would never
00:18be kind to a team outside of the major conferences. Gonzaga's 11th, St. Mary's is 22nd, St. Louis is
00:2531st, and by the way, Akron is 60th. Akron is 60th. Miami of Ohio is 90th. That is not because
00:37Ken Palm went to Kansas and has some big school bias. It's in part because Miami of Ohio is
00:49not only playing an easy schedule, they don't win by margin all that often. You would think
00:57they would. Let's go to the net ranking, where it is not as drastic, but Team 49 is UCF, Team
01:1150, South Florida, a 21-18, okay, out of the American, Baylor, Seton Hall, and at 53, Miami
01:22of Ohio. 53, okay? It's a field of 68. We know, like, the bubble range, JY, that 30-40 mix,
01:34give or take, right, because we have your, you know, conference tournament outright bids.
01:39Miami of Ohio having these questions around them is not because people hate mid-major basketball.
